Patchy fog has developed this morning across the Delmarva Peninsula and extreme southern New Jersey. Temperatures this morning have also fallen below freezing, which could result in freezing fog. Additionally, any rain or snowmelt from Thursday could result in the formation of black ice. If driving this morning, be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Patchy fog can unexpectedly reduce visibilities. Slow down, use your low- beam headlights, and leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles.

Patchy fog has developed across much of the region, especially in valleys and other low lying areas. While visibilities may be variable, some fog is locally dense with visibility less than one quarter mile. Temperatures in many of these locations have fallen into the upper 20s and lower 30s, which could result in freezing fog. Any residual moisture from Thursday's rain could also result in icy spots. Expect the fog to gradually erode by mid morning. If driving early this morning, be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Slow down, increase following distance, and use low beam headlights when encountering dense fog. Any road surfaces which appear wet may actually be icy.
