As low clouds clear this evening and overnight, conditions will become favorable for fog formation.

Further east into Ohio and south into northern Kentucky, visibility could worsen through daybreak.

Affected counties include: Wayne, Fayette, Union, Franklin, Ripley, Dearborn, Ohio, Switzerland, Carroll, Gallatin, Boone, Kenton, Campbell, Owen, Grant, Pendleton, Bracken, Robertson, Mason, Hardin, Mercer, Auglaize, Darke, Shelby, Logan, Miami, Champaign, Clark, Preble, Montgomery, Greene, Butler, Warren, Clinton, Hamilton, Clermont, and Brown.

Drivers are advised to allow for greater distances between vehicles, use low beam headlights, and allow extra time to reach their destinations. Be prepared for sudden reductions in visibility.
