Mississippi – Drivers in central Mississippi should prepare for hazardous travel conditions through Tuesday morning, as dense fog blankets major roadways, including I-55 and Highway 49. A widespread fog advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service, reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile in some areas. This is especially critical for morning commuters and those traveling through Jackson and surrounding regions.
According to the National Weather Service, the dense fog is expected to lift by 10 a.m. on Tuesday, but visibility will remain severely limited during early hours. Residents are urged to drive cautiously, use headlights, and allow extra travel time. High humidity and calm winds are contributing to the fog’s persistence.
The forecast shows foggy conditions early Tuesday, followed by mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s. Sunny weather is expected for the remainder of the week, but drivers should be mindful of the fog’s potential return overnight. For updated conditions, motorists should check local weather reports or the National Weather Service’s advisories.
