CLEVELAND — A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for several Northeast Ohio counties, and pockets of dense fog are reducing visibility for most of our viewing area, to as low as one-quarter-mile in some parts.

The National Weather Service is warning drivers to allow themselves extra time on their morning commute, use their headlines and leave ample stopping distance ahead of their vehicles, as visibility may be reduced to as low as one-quarter mile in areas of dense fog.
