... Dense fog advisory in effect until 9 am CST Monday...

The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a dense
fog advisory... which is in effect until 9 am CST Monday.

Patchy fog will gradually increase in areal coverage and lower
visibilities to below one quarter mile at times late Sunday
evening through mid Monday morning. Visibilities will rapidly
improve by mid morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

reduced to less than one quarter mile. If driving... slow down...
use your headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
