Fort Collins, CO – A dense fog advisory is in effect for northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Sterling, and Akron, until 10 a.m. Saturday, significantly reducing visibility. Drivers in these areas should be prepared for hazardous conditions, with fog limiting visibility to one-quarter mile or less in some locations.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory impacts areas like Briggsdale, Limon, Julesburg, and Holyoke. Residents and travelers should anticipate poor visibility while on the roads, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions. The dense fog is expected to linger through the early morning hours and is likely to dissipate by mid-morning.
Travelers are urged to slow down, use low beams instead of high beams, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to reduce the risk of accidents. Reduced visibility can make navigating rural roads and highways especially dangerous.
This advisory comes after similar fog events earlier in the spring, with the current conditions expected to improve by 10 a.m. Saturday. However, additional weather updates may follow depending on local conditions.
