CINCINNATI, Ohio – Drivers in Cincinnati and across southwest Ohio are facing dangerous conditions Friday morning as dense fog blankets the region, cutting visibility to less than a quarter mile in many areas. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory through 10 a.m., warning motorists to expect slowed travel and sudden patches of near-zero visibility.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, fog is most widespread along the Ohio River Valley and low-lying areas, including Hamilton, Clermont, and Butler counties. Commuters are urged to allow extra time, use low-beam headlights, and avoid sudden stops on interstates like I-71, I-75, and I-275, where visibility can change quickly.
Flights in and out of Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Field may also see delays during the advisory window. Once the fog lifts, skies will turn mostly sunny with a high near 79, kicking off a stretch of dry, calm weather into early next week.
The advisory is expected to expire by late morning, but officials caution drivers that pockets of fog could linger in rural areas through mid-morning.
