Huntsville, AL – A dense freezing fog advisory is in effect across parts of North Alabama and Franklin County, Tennessee, until 6 a.m. CST Tuesday, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.

According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, visibility may drop to one-quarter of a mile or less in affected areas. The fog is expected to create a thin glaze of ice on elevated and exposed surfaces, including bridges and overpasses. Counties under the advisory include Madison, Morgan, DeKalb, Jackson, Marshall, Cullman, and Franklin in Tennessee.

The advisory warns drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance from other vehicles to navigate safely. The combination of freezing fog and icy patches could make travel particularly challenging during the early morning hours.

Key cities impacted by the advisory include Huntsville, Decatur, Cullman, Scottsboro, Guntersville, and Winchester. Residents in these areas should prepare for delays and exercise extreme caution on roadways.

This weather pattern, while brief, underscores the dangers of freezing fog in the Tennessee Valley. Motorists are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve after sunrise Tuesday.
