...Dense fog to continue into this morning...

Areas of dense fog and freezing fog will continue to develop
across portions of northern Michigan through the morning hours. 
Visibilities of one half mile or less have been observed in 
localized areas. Untreated roadways may be slick in spots due to 
patchy areas of freezing fog.

If you encounter dense fog while traveling, use low beam 
headlights and increase following distance.
