Jackson, Mississippi – Drivers across central and southern Mississippi should expect patchy dense fog through 9 a.m. Wednesday, with visibility dropping as low as ¼ mile in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, limited visibility is affecting major corridors including I-20, I-55, and U.S. 49, with a “Limited Threat” level issued for cities such as Meridian, Philadelphia, Laurel, and Hattiesburg.
