Washington, D.C
Patchy fog and rain slow the DC morning commute until 9 am Friday
WASHINGTON (7News) — If you’re heading out early in Washington, DC, expect patchy fog and rain showers through about 9 a.m., creating reduced visibility during the Friday morning commute.
Why It’s Foggy This Morning:
Overnight rain combined with mild air and light winds is allowing moisture to linger near the ground. That setup is ideal for patchy fog, especially in low-lying areas, near rivers, and along parkways.
What to Expect:
