DETROIT – If you’re one of those early risers who heads out for an early-morning jog, and you’re still in bed reading this right now, you may want to look out the window first, as parts of our area will start the day with locally dense fog.
Your problem, however, is more than just with the visibility, because temperatures are below-freezing in many locales. When dense fog forms in below freezing temperatures, a condition called freezing fog -- it can deposit a thin film of ice, called black ice, onto surfaces. So be VERY careful and test the pavement before starting your jog, or just heading out early this morning.
