Dense Fog Advisory Issued for Geneva County
Geneva County, [Date] – The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for Geneva County, effective Saturday from 2:10 a.m. until 8 a.m. Residents are advised to expect visibility of one quarter mile or less due to widespread dense fog conditions.
Drivers should exercise caution, as limited visibility presents hazardous driving conditions. The advisory warns that visibility will begin to improve about an hour after sunrise, but until then, motorists are urged to slow down, utilize headlights, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
To navigate these foggy conditions safely, the weather service recommends several key strategies:
- Reduce Speed: Allow extra time for travel and slow down to enhance your reaction time.
- Use Low-Beam Headlights: This ensures your vehicle remains visible to others while reducing glare.
- Avoid High-Beam Lights: High beams can create glare and hinder visibility.
- Maintain Safe Following Distance: Leave ample space to accommodate sudden stops or changes in traffic flow.
- Stay Within Lane Markings: Use road markings as guides to stay on course.
- Respond to Near-Zero Visibility: If visibility drops to near-zero, activate hazard lights and pull over safely, prioritizing secure locations like parking lots.
In the absence of a designated parking area, pull as far off the road as possible and keep only hazard lights on. Engaging the emergency brake and releasing the brake pedal will help minimize the chances of collision from passing vehicles.
By adhering to these precautions, residents can help reduce the risk of accidents and ensure their safety during this fog event.
