Jackson, MS – A dense fog advisory remains in effect across Mississippi, southeast Arkansas, and northeast Louisiana until 10 a.m. CST Tuesday, significantly reducing visibility and creating hazardous driving conditions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Jackson, visibility in some areas has dropped to one-quarter mile or less due to thick fog. Affected regions include central, east central, north central, northeast, northwest, south central, southeast, southwest, and west central Mississippi, as well as portions of Arkansas and Louisiana. Cities such as Jackson, Greenville, Meridian, Vicksburg, and Hattiesburg are among those impacted.
