Drivers in south-central Indiana and north-central, northwest, and south-central Kentucky are advised to exercise extreme caution this morning due to a Dense Fog Advisory.

Visibility is significantly reduced to between one-quarter and one-half mile in dense fog conditions. This low visibility can make driving hazardous.
