Severe storms are moving through eastern Pennsylvania, delivering strong winds and heavy downpours.
"While the threat from heavy and strong thunderstorms will end in the next few hours, there could be dense fog later tonight. These storms have added a large amount of moisture to the surface," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Mike Pigott.
"The combination of clear skies and light winds late tonight will allow for dense fog to develop. Visibilities could near zero early Saturday morning," he said.
The storms could reach as far as Philadelphia by late Friday night.
