Duluth, MN – A dense fog advisory remains in effect for portions of western Lake Superior, including the waters from Two Harbors to Duluth, MN, and Duluth to Port Wing, WI, until 10 a.m. CDT Thursday morning. Boaters and mariners in the area should exercise extreme caution due to significantly reduced visibility.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, the fog is expected to lower visibility to as little as a quarter nautical mile, making navigation hazardous. The advisory, issued early Thursday morning, warns that the thick fog could lead to dangerous conditions for those traveling on the water.
Mariners are urged to take necessary precautions, including using fog signals, ensuring running lights are on, and relying on radar and compass navigation. Those who must navigate should proceed slowly and remain aware of their surroundings to avoid potential collisions.
The advisory is set to expire at 10 a.m. CDT, when conditions are expected to gradually improve. However, boaters should remain alert for any changes in the weather and check for updates from local authorities before heading out on the water.
