Juneau, AK – Residents across Southeast Alaska are facing hazardous travel conditions today as dense fog settles over the region, significantly reducing visibility for drivers, boaters, and air travelers.
According to the National Weather Service in Juneau, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until noon AKST Monday, with visibility dropping to one-quarter mile or less in many areas. The advisory was issued late Sunday morning and covers a wide stretch of Southeast Alaska.
Impacted locations include Juneau, Gustavus, Hoonah, Tenakee Springs, Angoon, Petersburg, Wrangell, Kake, Port Alexander, and surrounding communities. The advisory also includes Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island, Admiralty Island, and portions of Kupreanof and Kuiu Islands.
Weather officials say the fog may thin out temporarily for some locations later Sunday afternoon, but conditions are expected to deteriorate again Sunday night, with dense fog redeveloping into Monday morning.
The primary concern is hazardous travel due to low visibility, especially on roadways, near harbors, and along ferry routes. Aviation operations may also experience delays or disruptions as visibility remains limited.
Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Boaters should proceed with caution, use navigation aids, and remain alert for other vessels operating in low-visibility conditions.
Residents with early Monday commutes or scheduled travel should plan for delays and continue to monitor local weather updates. Conditions are expected to improve gradually by midday Monday as the advisory expires.
