Officials put a dense fog advisory in place until 11 a.m. Tuesday that impacted cities from Pleasant View to North Salt Lake, but fog caused issues in areas South of the advisory.

Visibility was reportedly less than a quarter mile in certain areas due to the fog, which made for some hazardous driving conditions.

By mid-morning, most of the fog cleared out, leaving behind some chilly temperatures.
