Memphis, Tennessee – Travelers across the Mid-South should brace for patchy fog Friday morning, which could create hazardous driving conditions, particularly near the Tennessee River and northeastern Mississippi. The fog, though not expected to be as dense as Thursday night’s, may still reduce visibility to less than a quarter mile in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service, there is a 70-80% chance of fog in portions of the region, especially along the river and into northeastern Mississippi. Drivers may face visibility challenges from early Friday morning through the mid-morning hours, with the fog potentially thickening in localized pockets.
Commuters are urged to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and use low-beam headlights. Some may want to consider delaying travel or allowing extra time to reach their destinations. Fog is expected to dissipate as the morning progresses, but be aware of reduced visibility if traveling between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m.
