Los Angeles, CA – Drivers across Los Angeles and surrounding counties are facing hazardous conditions this morning as a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM. Visibility is expected to drop to a quarter-mile or less in many areas, particularly along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Highway 101. Commuters are urged to drive with extreme caution during this time.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory impacts Los Angeles County Beaches, the Inland Coast, Ventura County, and Malibu. The dense fog has already reduced visibility, making it challenging for drivers to navigate. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles. This advisory, issued early Friday, is expected to clear later in the morning as the fog dissipates and temperatures rise.
Looking ahead, Los Angeles is set to experience sunny skies by the afternoon, with a high near 84°F today. Patchy fog is forecast to return tonight after 11 PM. The weekend outlook remains mostly sunny with mild temperatures, though patchy morning fog could continue to affect visibility, especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Residents planning to travel or spend time outdoors should be prepared for limited visibility during early morning hours throughout the weekend. Those driving along major routes like the PCH, Highway 101, or near the coast should continue to monitor weather updates for any additional advisories.
