NWS meteorologists said flights could be affected in and out of Lindbergh Field in San Diego and Palomar Airport in Carlsbad.
The fog could also reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less at times, and could lead to hazardous travel conditions, including on parts of Interstates 5, 8, 805, and state Route 163, according to the NWS. Drivers were advised to slow down, use their low beams and to leave distance between their vehicle and those ahead.
