A police cruiser emerges from the fog in the distance on South Street, where the buildings and trees are normally visible in the background.
They told us yesterday that the Dense Fog Advisory was effective until noon Wednesday, but the photo above at 12:45 p.m. that day says otherwise. The word from the National Weather Service today is that we should expect to keep seeing fog until around 8:00 a.m. Thursday. Unfortunately, that’s just long enough to accompany everyone on their morning commute.
They are forecasting a quarter-mile or less of visibility. If you didn’t have it in your plans to film a spooky movie tonight, consider it. If you are driving in the fog, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you. See below for all the counties and cities included in this advisory.
