Huntsville, Alabama – A dense fog advisory is in effect for Huntsville and much of northern Alabama through 9 a.m. this Friday morning. Travelers should expect low visibility, with some areas experiencing less than a quarter-mile of visibility.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog is affecting northern Alabama and parts of southern middle Tennessee. This includes areas such as Decatur, Florence, Muscle Shoals, and Huntsville itself. Motorists should exercise extreme caution while driving, as low visibility can make travel hazardous, especially on highways and rural roads.
In Huntsville, the current temperature is around 59°F, with humidity levels reaching 97%. Fog is expected to persist until 9 a.m., with conditions improving once the sun rises. Winds will remain light, around 3 mph, which could also contribute to lingering fog in some areas.
Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and leave plenty of distance between vehicles to reduce the risk of accidents. As the fog lifts, the rest of the day should be partly sunny with temperatures rising to a high of 77°F.
Be prepared for changes in weather, as showers are likely throughout the weekend, with a chance of thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. Keep updated on local weather conditions for further advisories.
