Pittsburgh, PA – Dense fog is impacting visibility across western Pennsylvania this morning, particularly along the region’s river valleys. Motorists can expect sudden drops in visibility to less than a quarter-mile in some areas, which could create hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog is most dense in and around cities like Pittsburgh, Weirton, and Morgantown. The patchy fog is expected to persist through 9 a.m. EDT, with conditions improving as the morning progresses. Drivers should remain cautious and prepared for sudden reductions in visibility, especially when crossing rivers or traveling through low-lying areas.
Visibility concerns are particularly high for commuters heading out along key routes such as Interstate 70, 79, and 376. The National Weather Service advises using low beams on vehicles, slowing down, and maintaining extra space between cars to reduce the risk of accidents.
This patchy fog event is typical for early mornings in the spring but can still be tricky for drivers. Conditions are expected to clear by mid-morning, but travelers should stay alert to updated advisories.
