Greenville, MS – The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of the Mississippi Delta and southeast Arkansas, warning that visibility could drop to one-quarter mile or less through 9 a.m. CST Saturday.
The advisory includes Ashley and Chicot Counties in Arkansas and Bolivar, Leflore, Sunflower, and Washington Counties in Mississippi—covering cities such as Greenville, Greenwood, Cleveland, and Indianola.
Meteorologists caution that the fog could make travel hazardous, especially along Highways 82, 61, and 278, where low visibility may persist into mid-morning. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra following distance.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve by late morning as the fog lifts with rising temperatures. However, isolated patches of fog may linger longer in rural and low-lying areas.
This morning’s fog event is typical for early November in the Delta, where cool overnight air and high humidity often create thick fog near sunrise.
