The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for North Carolina on Wednesday, warning residents of reduced visibility throughout the day. The advisory will affect various regions in the state, including Durham, as reported by the Durham Herald Sun.
Drivers are urged to use caution while traveling as the thick fog can lead to hazardous road conditions. The reduced visibility may make it difficult for motorists to see other vehicles, pedestrians, or road signs, increasing the risk of accidents. It is recommended to drive at a slower speed and use low-beam headlights to improve visibility.
Pedestrians are also advised to be cautious when crossing roads, as drivers may have trouble seeing them in the dense fog. It is important to make eye contact with drivers before crossing and to wear bright or reflective clothing to increase visibility.
Air travelers may also experience delays or cancellations as the fog can affect airport operations. Passengers are advised to check with their airline for any updates on their flight status before heading to the airport.
Residents are encouraged to stay indoors if possible and avoid unnecessary travel until the fog lifts. The NWS recommends monitoring local weather updates and staying informed about any changes in the fog advisory.
The dense fog advisory is expected to persist throughout Wednesday, with conditions improving as the day progresses. However, residents are advised to remain vigilant and take precautions to ensure their safety during this period of reduced visibility.
