Full text

Mostly clear to clear skies and light winds has led to fog developing mainly in the valleys. Some of this fog will be dense and reduce visibilities to a quarter of a mile or less along rivers, larger creeks, and area lakes. Those traveling this morning, should exercise caution by slowing down and being prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Allow plenty of room between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Use low beam headlights and allow extra time to reach your destination.

What this means

Warning
The hazard is happening or about to. Act now: a tornado warning means take shelter, a flash flood warning means move to higher ground.
Watch
Conditions favor the hazard. Nothing is happening yet; have a plan and be ready to act if a warning follows.
Advisory
A hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause trouble, such as dense fog, heat or light ice.
Statement
Information about weather that does not yet meet a warning: a strong storm, a hydrologic update, or a special weather statement.

Severity (extreme, severe, moderate, minor) is the rating the issuing office gives each product. More on the difference: tornado watch vs. tornado warning. Alerts come from the National Weather Service; follow its instructions and your local officials.
