Good morning, South Carolina! It looks like the weather has decided to play a little trick on us this Wednesday morning. If you’re stepping out or planning to hit the road, you might want to brace yourself for some thick fog that has settled over our region!
This morning, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Columbia sent out a dense fog advisory that covers several counties. So, if you’re in or around Northern Lancaster, Southern Lancaster, Newberry, Fairfield, Kershaw, Saluda, Lexington, and Richland counties, keep your eyes peeled! Visibility is reported to be less than a quarter of a mile in some areas.
The NWS is letting us know that these foggy conditions, which should linger until at least 9 a.m., could easily cause some hazardous driving conditions. Fumbling around in a thick fog isn’t just an annoyance; it can seriously hamper your ability to see what’s in front of you. So, what does that mean for you?
First things first: if you can avoid driving until the fog clears up, you might want to do just that. But if you absolutely have to get behind the wheel, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Now, you might be wondering, “What exactly is a dense fog advisory?” Well, it’s a signal from your friendly National Weather Service that widespread fog has rolled into the area, leading to reduced visibility. Typically, this means you’ll face conditions where you can see only one-quarter of a mile or less. Not ideal for driving, to say the least!
So there you have it, folks! If you’re in the affected areas this morning, consider postponing any unnecessary trips. If you must venture out, be cautious, drive slowly, and keep those headlights on! Safety first, as always.
We’ll keep you updated on any changes in the weather conditions. Let’s hope the sun breaks through the clouds and burns the fog away soon! Until then, stay cozy and safe!
