Hardly the densest fog I've ever seen but still a major impediment to
good driving visibility. I hope the drivers can cope. I well remember
the first fog I ever encountered as a new driver. I was still probably
16 years old when I ran into fog at night somewhere on the southern
California coast. On a road that was perhaps only 50 yards from the
ocean, I distinctly remember not being able to see a traffic light until
I was about where a crosswalk would be. I'm not sure I've seen anything
quite that bad ever since. It took a long time to get home.

We rarely see fog here in the Phoenix area, the last time being about
five years ago. After three days of light rain, cold temperatures,
and no wind, fog was inevitable. It wasn't very dense before dawn,
but it increased in density as the atmosphere warmed up, meaning that
the pre-dawn air temperature must have been just below the dew point.
Here are a few photos taken near the coffee shop that I frequent,
right at the peak of the density:

We like to call this "Crawling Eye Weather", referring to the 1950's
sci-fi horror flick "The Crawling Eye" that starred Forrest Tucker
and a couple of Canberra bombers.
