Portales, NM – Residents of Curry and Roosevelt counties are under a dense fog advisory through 10 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities warn that visibility could drop to a quarter-mile or less, creating hazardous travel conditions.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Albuquerque, temperatures in northern Curry County may fall below freezing overnight. This could result in dense freezing fog, especially on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and maintain safe following distances.

The advisory applies across eastern New Mexico, where patchy freezing fog could make morning commutes treacherous. Officials recommend avoiding unnecessary travel until the fog dissipates and conditions improve.

Residents are advised to monitor local weather updates and exercise caution while driving in reduced visibility. Those traveling early should prepare for possible delays and watch for icy spots on the road.
