Memphis, TN – Fog is expected to develop across the Mid-South tonight, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions that could continue into the early morning commute. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, especially if traveling overnight or in the pre-dawn hours.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog is likely to form overnight and could become dense in some areas. Visibility may be reduced to less than a mile in certain locations, making it difficult for drivers to see clearly, particularly along major highways and rural roads.
In Memphis and surrounding regions, the greatest impacts are expected between midnight and 6 a.m. Wednesday. Fog could create delays on Interstate 40, Interstate 55, and other key routes, with drivers urged to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and use low-beam headlights. The National Weather Service also suggests considering delaying travel if possible to avoid the worst conditions.
This fog event could be similar to others seen in early spring, but with the added risk of rush-hour traffic. Motorists should stay alert and use caution as visibility fluctuates rapidly. The fog threat will continue through the morning hours, with a potential for improvement by 9 a.m.
