The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog across large swathes of England and parts of Wales from 2am until 11am on Saturday.
The fog is expected to develop during Friday night and will be slow to clear in places through Saturday morning, when temperatures will hover around -2C in Birmingham.
Motorists are advised to avoid travel if possible as the fog is expected to be quite dense with the visibility falling below 100 metres at times.
The Met Office also warned delays to train and bus times are possible, with severe disruption to transport likely when the visibility falls below 50 metres.
There is also a chance of flight cancellations or delays.
According to the Highway Code headlights should be used when visibility is below 100 metres.
Before setting off on a foggy journey, drivers should make sure their lights - especially fog lights - are working properly.
Caution is also advised when walking as freezing fog may lead to some untreated surfaces becoming slippery.
