...PATCHY DENSE FOG OVER THE RIDGES...

Traffic cameras across the Alleghenies continue to show areas of
significant reductions in visibility, especially on the eastern
slops. Although many of the roads show good visibility, expect
rapid reductions while traveling on eastern facing ridges. As the
night goes on, the patchy fog may worsen and make travel more
difficult. Will monitor the need for any Dense Fog Advisories
overnight.

Please maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front and obey
local speed limits.
