Fog alert issued for Orlando area

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dense fog blanketed Central Florida early Thursday.

"There is a dense fog advisory in effect for every single county in Central Florida until 9 a.m.," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "As a front washes out on top of us, drier air will build in through the afternoon. Until then, low-level moisture and cooling temperatures overnight will lead to fog in many areas."

Drivers are urged to use caution.
