Detroit, MI – Drivers across Southeast Michigan face hazardous travel conditions this morning as a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Detroit/Pontiac.
The advisory covers Lenawee, Monroe, Washtenaw, Wayne, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, and St. Clair counties, where visibility may drop to a quarter-mile or less. Major interstates including I-75, I-94, and I-96 are expected to see the most significant travel impacts during the morning commute.
According to the NWS, a weak area of low pressure is drifting across the region, bringing dense fog and a marginal risk of excessive rainfall throughout the day. Officials warn that heavy rainfall could impact urban areas of Metro Detroit, raising the potential for localized flooding.
Travelers are urged to slow down, use low beam headlights, and leave extra distance between vehicles when driving in foggy conditions. The combination of low visibility and slick roads could increase the risk of accidents during peak commute hours.
The fog is expected to lift mid-morning, though rain showers may persist into the afternoon, particularly in urban areas of Detroit and surrounding counties.
