The combination of clear and calm conditions this morning has led to the development of fog across portions of the region. Dense fog is expected in some areas with visibility below a half of a mile. Motorists should use caution if out driving and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Allow for greater distances between vehicles and do not assume the road ahead is unobstructed. Use low beam headlights, and allow more time to reach your destination safely.

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.
