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.
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.
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.”
Expect hazardous driving conditions across Texas due to dense fog reducing visibility, prompting safety advisories to prevent accidents during this dangerous weather event.
