Widespread Dense Fog Advisory Across Multiple States Impacts Visibility and Driving Conditions

As dense fog blankets various regions across the United States, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple Dense Fog Advisories, warning of visibility less than a quarter mile in some areas. The affected states include Iowa, Nebraska, Georgia, South Carolina, and Utah, with the fog expected to persist until midday.

In central Georgia, patchy dense fog has restricted visibilities to less than half a mile, prompting a Special Weather Statement from the NWS Peachtree City. Similarly, parts of southwest and west central Iowa, as well as east central, northeast, and southeast Nebraska, are experiencing visibility less than a half mile due to dense fog, as highlighted in an advisory issued by the NWS Omaha/Valley.

Moreover, extreme interior South Carolina and interior Georgia are also facing patchy fog and low clouds, with the potential for locally dense fog reducing visibilities on roadways, as mentioned in a Special Weather Statement from the NWS Charleston. In Cache Valley, Utah, visibility less than a quarter mile in fog has led to hazardous driving conditions, according to the NWS Salt Lake City.

The impact of the dense fog includes hazardous driving conditions, as low visibility poses risks to motorists. The NWS advises drivers to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles to ensure safety on the roads.

In addition to the fog advisories, a strong thunderstorm near Moore, Oklahoma, moving northeast at 25 mph, has been detected by Doppler radar. The storm is expected to bring wind gusts of 40 mph and penny-size hail, potentially causing minor damage to outdoor objects and hazardous conditions in the affected areas.

As the fog persists and the thunderstorm moves through, residents are urged to stay informed about changing weather conditions and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
