Foggy Conditions Ahead: National Meteorological Center Warns of Reduced Visibility
The National Meteorological Center has issued a fog warning for tonight and tomorrow morning, cautioning that visibility could drop to near zero in some coastal and inland areas. The weather alert covers a nearly 10-hour period from 12:30 AM to 10:00 AM, affecting morning commuters and early travelers.
Weather officials are telling drivers to take extra precautions during these hours. The fog is expected to create dangerous driving conditions with severely limited visibility on major roads and highways.
This type of extended fog warning is common in the region during certain seasons, particularly when temperature and humidity conditions align. Coastal areas often see the heaviest fog formation due to moisture from nearby water bodies mixing with cooler inland air.
The meteorological center emphasized that drivers should follow traffic safety guidelines during the warning period. This includes reducing speed, using fog lights when available, and maintaining greater distances between vehicles. Some flights and marine activities might also face delays or restrictions during peak fog hours.
The warning affects both urban and rural areas, meaning commuters heading to work and school should plan for longer travel times. Local authorities typically increase traffic monitoring during such weather events to respond quickly to any accidents or road closures.
