The warning begins at 4pm on Thursday and is due to remain in place until 11am on Friday, with the Met Office warning of"difficult travel conditions". In its warning, forecasters said:"Areas of fog are likely to reform and expand Thursday evening with large areas of poor visibility and some places seeing less than 100 m visibility at times. The fog is likely to persist for many overnight but then clear from the east during Friday morning."The weather warning takes in most of the county, although towns such as Oswestry and Whitchurch have fallen outside the warning area despite fog still being forecast in some of these locations.
Drivers are told to use their lights as required in fog and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front as rear lights can"give a false sense of security".
