patchy fog
Scattered low clouds
Patchy fog is fog that occurs in scattered areas rather than as a continuous blanket.
Weather forecasts use the term to indicate that visibility will vary—clear in some spots, obscured in others: Expect patchy fog in low-lying areas through mid-morning.
Drivers may encounter alternating stretches of clarity and sudden reduced visibility.
