morning fog

Early vaporous veil

Morning fog is fog that forms or persists during early daylight hours, typically burning off as the sun rises and warms the air.

It occurs when cool overnight temperatures cause moisture to condense near the ground: The morning fog lifted by ten o'clock.

Coastal and valley regions are particularly prone to it.
