It will be a nightmare for commuters Tuesday morning.

Visibility is down again this morning for drivers across Central Florida, but you can expect things to be really bad if you use the Turnpike going north into Lake County. An accident from fog Monday could mean months of delays. George Delahoz with the Florida Highway Patrol has a warning.

"If you are listening to me, stay away from 50 between the Turnpike and Clermont."

A semi caught fire underneath a bridge near Clermont and damaged that bridge so badly the turnpike will be closed northbound until further notice between 50 in Winter Garden and 27 in Clermont. Everyone else will be dealing with thick fog all morning.

"We have a dense fog advisiory. I expect visibility will be down to a quarter mile or even less in some spots.

Accuweather's Dean Devore says just about all of Central Florida will see that fog this morning.
