A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across Florida’s coastal waters and inland areas. The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), warns that visibility may drop to one-quarter mile or less until 10 AM EST Thursday. These conditions make navigation on land and sea highly hazardous.
The advisory covers regions including Fernandina Beach, St. Augustine, Flagler Beach, and nearby inland areas. Drivers and boaters must exercise extreme caution in these conditions. For drivers, slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining a safe distance are crucial. Boaters should ensure all running lights are operational and rely on radar and compasses for navigation.
Low visibility can lead to accidents, emphasizing the need for preparedness. Proper fog signals and navigational tools are critical for mariners. On land, drivers should plan for extra travel time and avoid distractions.
