Fog delays end at area airports

Updated 10:36 a.m.
Arriving flights are no longer being delayed by foggy conditions in the Washington area, the Federal Aviation Administration reported.

Dense fog in the Washington area had prompted a ground stop for flights arriving at all three Washington-area airports Thanksgiving morning. But by 10:30 a.m., the problem appeared to be over, according to an FAA Web site that tracks flight times.

Early morning delays were reported for arriving flights at Washington Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Departing flights were apparently not affected.

A fog advisory was in effect for the Washington region inthe early morning, with visibility near zero in some places. Area roadways were reportedly clear, however, with traffic light. Meteorologists said the fog should lift later in the morning, giving way to clear skies and temperatures near 60 degrees.
