Detroit, MI – Drivers across southeast Michigan are urged to exercise caution this morning as dense fog blankets the region. Visibility in areas such as Detroit, Monroe, and Pontiac is reduced to a quarter mile, creating hazardous travel conditions for commuters.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog is thickest in the Thumb and southern portions near the Ohio border. Visibility will vary, with denser patches in rural areas, particularly along I-75 and I-94. Drivers should use low-beam headlights and maintain a safe following distance, especially on highways.
The fog is expected to lift by mid-morning, but conditions may persist in low-lying areas. Motorists should remain vigilant, as similar weather patterns could continue into Friday morning. Temperatures will reach the mid-70s later today, followed by a cool front bringing scattered showers on Friday.
Prepare for fluctuating weather through the weekend, with the chance of fog returning early next week. Drivers should monitor local forecasts and avoid non-essential travel until visibility improves.
