extended until 9 p.m. Monday for the counties of Knox, Stark,

A warm and moist air mass encroaching from the south, combined with
remaining snow cover, will continue to keep much of the area socked
in dense fog through the afternoon and evening hours. Visibilities
of one-quarter mile or less will be common in many locations through
the afternoon and evening. Visibilities will be near zero at times
in rural areas surrounded by open snow-covered fields.
A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to less than one-quarter mile. If driving, slow down. Use
your low-beam headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
