morning mist

Early daybreak fog

Morning mist is the light fog or haze that forms in the early hours, typically burning off as the sun rises and temperatures warm.

The phrase evokes tranquil, atmospheric scenes—fields shrouded in soft white, visibility reduced to nearby shapes: The morning mist hung over the lake.

It appears frequently in poetry, photography, and weather reports.
