Birmingham, AL – Drivers across Alabama and parts of Tennessee are facing hazardous conditions overnight as dense fog continues to blanket the region. The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective until 9 a.m. Sunday, warning of visibility reduced to less than one-quarter mile in many areas.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory spans several counties including Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, Blount, and Lee in Alabama, as well as parts of southern middle Tennessee. Dense fog is expected to persist through the morning, making travel difficult and potentially dangerous, particularly on highways and rural roads.
Motorists are urged to slow down and use headlights when driving in these conditions. The low visibility will create dangerous driving conditions, especially for those unfamiliar with the area. Several major routes across northern Alabama and southern Tennessee, including I-65 and I-20, are likely to be affected. The advisory also covers cities like Birmingham, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa.
The weather advisory will remain in place until 9 a.m. Sunday, but additional updates may be issued if conditions persist. Drivers should plan for potential delays and adjust travel plans as needed.
