A dense fog advisory is in effect this morning, impacting visibility along major routes such as I-55 and I-20 in Mississippi and parts of Louisiana. Early morning travelers should prepare for reduced visibility, with areas seeing as little as ¼ mile, particularly in southwest Mississippi. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, reduce speed, and use low-beam headlights to stay safe.
The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued an elevated threat for dense fog, which is expected to last until 10 a.m. today. With the fog impacting roads across the region, particularly highways near Vicksburg and Natchez, commuters are advised to plan for slower travel times and avoid unnecessary trips during peak fog conditions.
By the afternoon, the fog is expected to clear, giving way to sunny skies and warm temperatures in the upper 80s. This weekend promises clear, sunny conditions, perfect for outdoor activities leading up to Halloween. Residents can expect patchy fog early on Saturday, but skies will clear by mid-morning, ensuring a pleasant day with highs near 87°F.
