Monroe County, MS – A freezing fog advisory is in effect for Monroe County until 9 a.m. Tuesday, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, the advisory was issued late Monday night and warns of visibilities dropping as low as one-quarter mile due to freezing fog. Cities affected include Aberdeen and Amory.
Drivers in the area are urged to exercise caution, as freezing fog can create slick roadways and significantly reduce visibility. Motorists are advised to slow down, use headlights, and maintain a safe following distance.
The advisory replaces a previously canceled freezing fog warning set for next week. Residents should stay updated on road conditions and allow extra time for travel Tuesday morning.
Freezing fog occurs when water droplets freeze on contact with surfaces, leading to icy patches, particularly on bridges and elevated roadways. The hazardous conditions are expected to clear by mid-morning as temperatures rise.
