Hey there, Lancaster folks! If you stepped outside this morning, you might have noticed a rather uninviting blanket of fog hanging around. That’s right, we’re talking about some serious foggy conditions! The National Weather Service (NWS) in Columbia, South Carolina, has issued a weather alert that’s got our attention.
The alert was issued late Monday night at 11:54 PM, warning residents about patchy dense fog that has rolled in across Northern Lancaster, Southern Lancaster, Chesterfield, Newberry, Fairfield, and Kershaw counties. This is set to continue until 3 a.m. on Tuesday. So, if you have plans early in the morning, you might want to read on!
According to the NWS, “Patchy dense fog has developed across the northern part of the forecast area per observations.” While this fog may be patchy in places, don’t let that fool you! When you do encounter it, visibility could drop to just half a mile to a mile. That can make driving a whole lot trickier, so it’s best to be cautious out there.
If you absolutely need to hit the road in these foggy conditions, the NWS has provided some helpful safety tips designed to keep you out of trouble:
By keeping these safety tips from the NWS in mind, you can navigate through the fog more safely and hopefully avoid any mishaps. Remember, your safety is what matters most!
As the dense fog may impact early morning commuters, it’s wise to check local traffic updates and weather reports before heading out. With some precautionary measures, we can all work together to make our roads safer!
Be safe out there, Lancaster! Let’s hope the sun pokes through sooner rather than later, clearing out this fog and allowing us to bask in some brighter skies. Stay warm and stay vigilant!
