Mobile, AL – Drivers across coastal Alabama, southeastern Mississippi, and the western Florida Panhandle are urged to exercise caution this morning as dense fog blankets the region. Visibility is expected to drop below a quarter-mile in some areas until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Mobile, the fog is affecting cities including Mobile, Baldwin County, Pensacola, Gulf Shores, and parts of southeastern Mississippi. Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing visibility conditions, particularly in low-lying areas and near bodies of water.
Officials advise using low-beam headlights, reducing speeds, and allowing extra travel time as visibility may fluctuate over short distances. Ground fog can cause sudden reductions in sightlines, increasing the risk of accidents.
Conditions are expected to improve after 9 a.m. as the fog dissipates with warming temperatures. However, travelers should remain cautious until visibility stabilizes.
For real-time updates, residents can monitor alerts from the National Weather Service and local traffic reports. Stay safe and plan accordingly when traveling in affected areas this morning.
