As the morning of September 11 unfolds, various regions across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Kansas are grappling with dense fog advisories issued by the National Weather Service (NWS). The advisories, spanning from Duluth, MN, to Charleston, SC, highlight the potential hazards of reduced visibility on roadways and coastal areas.
In Minnesota, counties such as Crow Wing, Aitkin, and Pine are experiencing visibility of one quarter mile or less due to dense fog. The situation extends to parts of Wisconsin, including Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglas Counties, where similar conditions prevail. The NWS warns that driving in these areas could be dangerous, urging caution until the fog dissipates later in the morning.
In addition to the fog advisories, a coastal flood advisory has been issued for Coastal Colleton and Charleston Counties in South Carolina. The advisory warns of potential inundation above ground level along shorelines and tidal waterways, making some roads impassable. High tide, expected around midday, could exacerbate the flooding situation in these areas.
Meanwhile, in Kansas, a flood warning has been extended for Cow Creek near Hutchinson, with moderate flooding already occurring and forecasted to continue. The NWS cautions residents about road closures and potential impacts on low-lying areas as the river continues to rise.
In a separate weather event, a strong thunderstorm near Agate, ND, has prompted a special weather statement, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and nickel-sized hail expected. Residents in Cando, Bisbee, and Rocklake are advised to take precautions as the storm moves through the area.
These weather phenomena underscore the importance of staying informed and prepared for changing conditions. As climate patterns evolve, it becomes increasingly crucial to heed warnings from meteorological agencies and take necessary steps to ensure safety.
