Not at all strange... The temperature drops quite dramatically as the sky lightens. If in a river valley, the warmer air over the water gets trapped holding an amount of water, the temp above that drops quickly, condensing out the fog... It's called a temperature inversion...

Pleasure... I'm a RYA Cruising Instructor, and went on a met course that was FANTASTIC about 10 years ago... It was run by the guy who did the weather routing for the Clipper Round the World Race a couple of years before and was undertaking a Met MSc at the same time... I can bore on weather for England!
