Special Weather Statement issued February 6 at 7:24AM EST by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)
Areas of fog have developed, some of which have been locally dense to under a mile. By 9:00 or 10:00, this fog is expected to lift as westerly winds of 10-15 mph help mix out the moist air in place. Commuters should be prepared for patchy areas of significantly reduced visibilities. These reduced visibilities are not confined to the normal fog prone areas and should be accounted for when traveling this morning.
