The National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for several counties in Alabama early Tuesday morning, warning of visibility dropping to a quarter-mile or less. Travelers were urged to exercise caution on the roads, with tips provided to stay safe in foggy conditions.
The advisory covered Coffee, Dale, Henry, Geneva, and Houston counties, with hazardous driving conditions expected until 9 a.m. The weather service recommended drivers slow down, use headlights, and keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid accidents.
Tips for driving in foggy conditions included moderating speed, prioritizing visibility with headlights and fog lights, avoiding high beams, maintaining distance from other vehicles, and pulling over to a safe location if visibility dropped to near-zero levels. Drivers were advised to turn on hazard lights, pull to the roadside if possible, and switch off all lights except hazard flashers to reduce the risk of collisions.
The advice, provided by the weather service and compiled by United Robots’ Advance Local Weather Alerts using machine learning, aimed to help drivers navigate fog safely and minimize the potential for accidents. By following these recommendations, travelers could prioritize their well-being and reduce the dangers associated with low visibility on the roads.
