Los Angeles, CA – A dense fog advisory is in effect for Los Angeles County’s coastal areas, including Malibu, Long Beach, and Palos Verdes Hills, until 9 a.m. PST Thursday. Residents and commuters should expect significantly reduced visibility and potentially hazardous driving conditions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Los Angeles/Oxnard, visibility in affected areas could drop to one-quarter mile or less. The advisory was issued late Wednesday night as thick fog settled over the region, impacting major roadways and travel near LAX and along the Pacific Coast Highway.
Officials urge drivers to take precautions by slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining safe distances between vehicles. The fog may also impact flight schedules at Los Angeles International Airport, and travelers are advised to check with airlines for potential delays.
Dense fog events are common along the Southern California coast, especially in the early morning hours, due to cool marine air moving inland. Conditions are expected to improve by mid-morning as temperatures rise and fog dissipates.
The advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. Thursday. Motorists and residents should stay updated with local weather reports and exercise caution when traveling through fog-prone areas.
