Good morning, South Carolina! It looks like we’re waking up to some serious fog this Wednesday. At 7:16 a.m., the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a dense fog advisory for a number of our counties, including Northern Lancaster, Southern Lancaster, Newberry, Fairfield, Kershaw, Saluda, Lexington, and Richland. So, if you’re planning to hit the roads today, you may want to read on!
The NWS reports that visibility in many areas affected by the advisory is dropping down to a mere one quarter mile or less. That can make driving quite the challenge! Fog can creep in like an uninvited guest, wrapping everything in a thick blanket and making it hard to see where you’re going.
The current advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. today. That’s right—so if you were thinking about embarking on a morning commute or running some errands, now might not be the best time unless absolutely necessary.
A disclaimer from our friends at the NWS notes that “low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous.” This means if you have to drive, it’s crucial to be extra careful. The advisement continues with a few friendly reminders for everyone hitting the road:
Traveling in fog can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you’re not used to it. If there’s any way to postpone your trip or take a different route, now might be a good opportunity to consider that. The NWS emphasizes taking extra caution when on the road or even avoiding driving altogether if you can help it. Let’s keep our community safe as we navigate through this foggy situation!
So there you have it, folks! A day filled with dense fog means that extra safety measures are in order. Whether you’re off to work, school, or just heading out for a morning coffee, keep these tips in mind. Drive safe and remember: visibility can change in an instant.
Let’s hope the fog lifts soon, but until then, keep your eyes on the road and stay alert. Thanks for tuning in, and let’s make this a safe and fog-free day in South Carolina!
