light fog

Wispy atmospheric moisture

Light fog is fog with reduced density, allowing greater visibility than standard fog but still limiting sight distance.

Meteorologically, it refers to fog where visibility exceeds half a mile but remains noticeably impaired.

Light fog hung over the valley at dawn.

The term describes conditions between clear air and thick fog.
