Grand Rapids, MI – A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for portions of south central and southwest Michigan until 9 a.m. EDT today.
According to the National Weather Service, visibility may be near zero at times due to dense fog. Motorists are advised to exercise caution, reduce speed, use headlights, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to mitigate hazardous driving conditions. The fog, which formed due to light winds and clear skies, is expected to lift by 9 a.m.
The advisory covers cities including Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, and Benton Harbor. These areas are experiencing reduced visibility, making morning commutes particularly dangerous. Drivers should plan for extra travel time and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility.
Following the lifting of the fog, the weather is expected to clear, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the mid-70s to low 80s by the afternoon. Light winds will continue throughout the day, contributing to a pleasant summer day once the fog dissipates.
Looking ahead, the forecast for the rest of the week includes scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday, with temperatures remaining in the high 70s. The weekend is predicted to be partly cloudy with highs in the mid-80s, providing favorable conditions for outdoor activities.
