<![CDATA[Foggy versus Miles of Visibility]]>Hi Windy.com Community! I am new here and I am just trying to understand the "fog" detection....... I thought when it shows "14.7 sm" under visibility that it means you can see for 14.7 miles clearly. But when I used the "fog' layer and zoomed down to the exact same area that was supposed to be'"foggy" it still showed '14.7sm"......so I am confused as to what I guess the 14.7 numbers actually mean? Any responses are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. ResaCNW

So that's why when it shows it's foggy the visibility shows it's not foggy.
