Why is it foggy this morning?

Quick Answer: It's foggy this morning because the air near the ground is cool and moist, causing water vapor to condense into tiny droplets. These droplets hang in the air, reducing visibility and creating fog.

Fog forms when the temperature drops close to the dew point, the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture. This usually happens overnight or early morning when the air cools but the humidity remains high.

Calm winds and clear skies also help because they prevent the fog from dispersing. So, the combination of cool, moist air and still conditions creates that thick, misty feeling you see this morning.
