Special Weather Statement issued June 15 at 8:14PM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

Traffic cameras across the Alleghenies continue to show areas of significant reductions in visibility, especially on the eastern slops. Although many of the roads show good visibility, expect rapid reductions while traveling on eastern facing ridges. As the night goes on, the patchy fog may worsen and make travel more difficult. Will monitor the need for any Dense Fog Advisories overnight. Please maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front and obey local speed limits.
