Houston, TX – A dense fog advisory is in effect for parts of south-central and southeast Texas until 9 a.m. CST Saturday, impacting visibility and travel conditions across the region. Drivers are urged to exercise caution as fog reduces visibility to one mile or less.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Houston/Galveston, the advisory affects multiple counties, including Harris, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Fort Bend, and others. The thick fog could make driving hazardous, particularly in low-lying areas and near bodies of water.
Residents in Houston, College Station, Galveston, and surrounding areas are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance while on the roads. The advisory will remain in place until 9 a.m., with conditions expected to gradually improve as temperatures rise and visibility increases.
Travelers should check local traffic reports and weather updates before heading out, as delays may occur due to low visibility. Those commuting early in the morning should allow extra time for their journeys.
The NWS recommends motorists stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to avoid accidents in the affected regions. The foggy conditions are expected to clear later in the morning as the atmosphere warms up.
