Earlier this morning at the park – fog remains in short- and long-term forecasts

It was as foggy as it’s been this year at Maple Leaf Reservoir Park this morning. (And that’s saying something.)

It’s lifting here now, but is forecast to return through the weekend.

In a short-term forecast, the National Weather Service warns:

AREAS OF DENSE FOG HAS FORMED OVER THE INTERIOR WATERS FROM PUGET SOUND TO THE NORTH INTERIOR. LAND AREAS NEAR WATER WILL ALSO HAVE DENSE FOG OR FREEZING FOG AT TIMES THIS MORNING.

VISIBILITY MAY DROP BELOW A QUARTER MILE AT TIMES. MOTORISTS SHOULD SLOW DOWN AND USE CAUTION IN AREAS OF LOW VISIBILITY. WATCH FOR ICY SPOTS ON ROADWAYS WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING.
