A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10:00 AM EST with visibilities 1/4 to 1/2 mile — morning driving is hazardous. Fog should lift and conditions improve after mid‑morning to midday (partly sunny, highs near 48°F), with winds increasing. Overall driving later today is generally safe with normal precautions, but the morning period is not safe for nonessential travel.
- 01 Dense Fog Advisory until 10:00 AM EST with expected visibilities 0.25–0.5 miles — low visibility increases crash risk.
- 02 Hourly data shows widespread fog through about 9–10 AM, then patchy fog and clearing as temperatures rise to the mid‑40s.
- 03 Chance of precipitation is low, so rain/snow are not the main hazard; temperatures are above freezing in the morning (mid‑30s to ~40°F), so icing is unlikely but isolated slick spots on bridges/overpasses cannot be ruled out if surfaces stayed near freezing overnight.
- 04 West winds increase to 10–13 mph with gusts up to ~25 mph midday — can affect high‑profile vehicles and reduce visibility when blowing spray later if roads get wet.
Avoid driving during the advisory (until 10:00 AM) if you can. If you must drive in fog: slow down well below the speed limit, use low‑beam headlights (and fog lights if equipped), increase following distance, avoid high beams, use windshield wipers/defrosters to improve visibility, and pull off the road to a safe location if visibility becomes near zero. After 10 AM expect improving visibility but continue to drive cautiously during and after any lingering patchy fog and in gusty winds.
