Tips to Stay Safe

A Dense Fog Advisory means that thick fog is happening now or very soon. It will limit visibility to less than a quarter mile, creating dangerous travel conditions. 

  • Limit driving or other travel if possible. 
  • If driving, slow down and plan for extra travel time to reach your destination. 
  • Use headlights and fog lights if you have them. Do not use high-beam lights, as the glare makes it more difficult for you to see. 
  • Leave plenty of distance between you and other vehicles.
