episode_narrativeHigh pressure in place across the area allowed for moist low levels and light winds overnight. Patches of dense fog developed around 4AM and interacted with lingering smoke from a controlled burn near Polk City to produce about a 2 mile area of super-fog over Interstate 4 between US 27 and the Polk Parkway.
