Dense Fog Advisory Issued for Southern Oregon
On Thursday, the National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory effective until Friday at 10 a.m. The alert applies to Central Douglas County, Eastern Curry County, Josephine County, and Jackson County.
“Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog.”
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” comments the weather service.
Motorists are urged to drive cautiously. When fog reduces visibility, the weather service advises drivers to slow down, turn on their headlights, and maintain extra distance from other vehicles.
Safety Recommendations
- Reduce speed and allow additional travel time to reach your destination safely.
- Use low-beam headlights or fog lights if available to improve visibility for yourself and others.
- Avoid using high-beam headlights, as they reflect off the fog and reduce visibility further.
- Maintain greater spacing between vehicles to react safely to sudden stops or changes in traffic.
- Follow lane markings as guides to stay correctly positioned on the roadway.
If possible, consider delaying your trip until conditions improve. Widespread fog may drop visibility to a quarter mile or less, creating challenging driving conditions across the affected areas.
