Visibility this morning has been at a quarter mile to just a few hundred feet. As always, you'll want to flip on your low beams and take is slow as you head out the door.
Fog develops with the help of clear evening skies and light winds, those at least are the basic ingredients. But why does it form?
But as the sun sets and temperatures cool, those particles slowly start to slow down. As this happens, those molecules are attracted to the other particles and attach. The gaseous water molecules will then condense onto the particles, which creates the fog! The name of the temperature at which this occurs is called the dew point temperature! Its a really cool process, but one that causes a lot of headaches for travelers. Some reports state that fog related accidents are the most common weather related traffic accidents.Take is slow this morning!
