The Kenai Peninsula is seeing a dense fog which the National Weather Service expects to reduce visibility to just 1/4 mile.
Meteorologist Dan Samelson detailed what brought on the fog.
Samelson: “We’re finding ourselves in between two weather systems, a substantial low pressure center in the eastern golf and the significant system out in the Bering Sea and we’re underneath a bit of a ridge which means the air is fairly stagnant and is just acquiring the characteristics of the underlying surface layer which is cold, fair amount of moisture so loose snow falling around therefore the atmosphere is saturating overnight.”
Samelson said early tomorrow morning the fog will likely lift when a front from the west comes in.
As that front approaches he said it will mix up precipitation and the Kenai Peninsula could get one to two inches of snow going through Christmas Day.
