The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for portions of Southern Illinois, Southwest Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southeast Missouri, which remains in effect until 9 AM this morning.
Motorists in the affected areas should be aware that visibility may be reduced to one quarter mile or less due to the dense fog. The low visibility could create hazardous driving conditions, particularly for commuters traveling early in the morning.
Officials urge drivers to exercise caution by slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Drivers are advised to stay alert and allow for extra travel time until the fog lifts later this morning.
