...Areas of Fog With Patch Dense Spots Developing...



Fog is developing, and is causing the greatest impact to the

southwestern edges of the Houston metro and into the rural areas

southwest of Houston.



Visibilities across widespread areas are being reduced to below 2

miles, with many locations below 1 mile. Within this widespread

foggy area, there are locations that are dropping to one quarter

mile or less at times.



This fog could pose hazards to those driving in the area this

morning, particularly in the isolated spots of dense fog. If you

will be driving this morning, leave a bit early, and allow for

extra time to arrive at your destination. Be alert for rapid

changes in visibility, and be prepared to slow down to a safe

speed for conditions. If you encounter fog, use only your low beam

headlights and leave extra distance between you and other

vehicles.



A cold front is approaching the area, and will put an end to the

fog threat when it moves through later in the morning. Until then,

fog will remain a possibility.
