Millions Warned of Hazardous Driving Conditions Across Texas
Dense Fog Covering Parts of Texas
Dense fog is expected to blanket parts of Texas until Thursday morning. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns of poor visibility and hazardous driving conditions in several counties across the state.
Impact on Visibility and Traffic
In some areas, visibility may drop to less than a quarter mile, increasing the risk of accidents. Over 38,700 vehicle crashes occur annually due to low visibility caused by fog.
Safety Advice from NWS
- Drive slowly and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Use low beam headlights to improve visibility.
- If fog is extremely dense, turn on hazard lights, pull over into a safe area, and turn off all lights except hazards.
- Engage the hand brake and wait until the fog lifts before resuming driving.
Expert Commentary
Brad Hlozek, chief meteorologist for KTRE-TV ABC 9, stated: “A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for most of east Texas through 9 a.m. Thursday as patchy, dense fog will lead to reduced visibility overnight and on the morning commute into work and school.”
Summary
Expect hazardous driving conditions across Texas due to dense fog reducing visibility, prompting safety advisories to prevent accidents during this dangerous weather event.
