“Be careful when driving in fog,” Erickson said. “Use low beam headlights. Slow down. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

“Fog may linger in the near shore coastal waters and lakes during the day hours as well. Marine vessels that have visibility restrictions will need to monitor the weather conditions closely.”
