Atlanta, GA – A thick blanket of fog is creating dangerous travel conditions across the South this morning, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less in many areas. Commuters should expect delays and use extreme caution on roadways, especially along major highways.
According to the National Weather Service, dense fog advisories remain in effect until 9 AM for portions of Georgia, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The fog is expected to lift later this morning as temperatures rise, but early drivers should keep headlights on low beam and increase following distances.
In Florida, coastal areas near Bonita Beach and Chokoloskee could experience reduced visibility through 11 AM, affecting marine navigation. Boaters are urged to use radar and fog signals when traveling offshore.
The rest of the week will bring gradual warming across the region, with rain chances increasing midweek. Highs in the 60s and 70s will dominate, with scattered showers possible in Georgia and the Carolinas by Thursday.
Motorists should check traffic reports before leaving home and allow extra travel time this morning.
