Special Weather Statement until 08:30AM 
Area observations, satellite imagery, and web cams indicate that patchy dense fog is impacting portions of southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina early this morning. Most of the patchy fog is shallow, but is producing visibilities of a quarter of a mile or less in isolated areas. Much of the fog is forming as steam fog near waterways including rivers, streams, tidal creeks, and marshes. Temperatures across the area have fallen below freezing and into the upper 20s in many locations. Freezing fog will occur, even producing light rime ice on elevated and exposed surfaces. While low visibilities could impact travel, especially where visibilities change significantly over short distances, rime ice from freezing fog is not expected to produce any impact on travel conditions. Temperatures will rise above freezing, and any lingering fog will dissipate, between 8 and 9 am this morning.
