...PATCHY DENSE FOG DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE...

THE MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW IS CONTINUING AND IS STILL GENERATING LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG. WHERE THE CLOUDS ARE INTERSECTING THE HIGHER
TERRAIN IN THE POCONOS, VISIBILITIES ARE QUITE POOR. THE FOG IS
DENSE IN PLACES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH VISIBILITIES LESS
THAN ONE QUARTER OF A MILE. THIS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE
MORNING COMMUTE.

ANYONE TRAVELING EARLY THIS MORNING SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR
QUICKLY CHANGING ROAD CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING ROADWAYS
AND INTERSTATES THAT GO THROUGH THE HIGHER TERRAIN. LEAVE PLENTY
OF DISTANCE BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE VEHICLES AROUND YOU AND ALLOW
FOR ADDITIONAL BRAKING DISTANCES. PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF ADDITIONAL
TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION AND ONLY USE YOUR LOW BEAMS WHEN
DRIVING THROUGH THICKER FOG PATCHES. 

IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EDGING THEIR WAY WESTWARD INTO
PENNSYLVANIA AND SHOULD ARRIVE BY THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING.
