Wilcox, AZ – Drivers traveling along Interstate 10 near Wilcox are facing hazardous conditions early Monday morning due to locally dense fog reducing visibility along the highway.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Tucson, fog developed across I-10 near Wilcox shortly after 7 a.m. Monday, impacting both eastbound and westbound traffic near milepost 347. The agency urged motorists to use caution if traveling through the area during the early morning hours.
Traffic camera footage from the Arizona Department of Transportation shows thick fog blanketing portions of the interstate, significantly limiting visibility and making it difficult to see vehicles ahead. The fog appears most concentrated in low-lying desert areas east of Wilcox, a known trouble spot during winter mornings.
No crashes or road closures had been reported as of early Monday, but officials warn that sudden changes in visibility can increase the risk of accidents, especially at highway speeds.
Motorists are advised to:
- Reduce speed and allow extra following distance
- Use low-beam headlights (not high beams)
- Avoid sudden braking
- Remain alert for slow-moving or stopped vehicles
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise later this morning, though conditions may vary by location. Drivers heading through Cochise County, particularly those commuting between Tucson, Wilcox, and eastern Arizona, should continue checking live traffic cameras and weather updates before traveling.
If you encounter fog-related issues or delays along I-10, officials encourage drivers to report conditions through local traffic apps or ADOT resources.
