FREEZING FOG AGAIN: Again this morning “freezing fog” has formed over parts of North/Central Alabama… this is simply fog that forms with surface temperatures below freezing. It can lead to rime ice collecting on exposed surfaces, and can lead to slick spots on bridges and overpasses. A freezing fog advisory is in effect for areas along and north of I-59; temperatures will be above freezing by 8:30-9:00.
If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you. Also, be alert for frost on bridge decks causing slippery roads.
