Original post: The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a dense fog advisory for Montgomery County until 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Areas of dense fog will reduce visibility making driving dangerous.

The Fire and Rescue Services recommend motorists slow down and increase stopping distance between vehicles, use low beams, use fog lights if available, and to not stop a vehicle on the roadway.
