Fog reduces visibilities and contributes to numerous motorist accidents every year. Dense Fog Advisories are issued when visibility drops to or is expected to drop to one quarter mile or less. Take caution and check to see if there are any Dense Fog Advisories issued for your commute before driving. Learn more about #FogSafety by visiting weather.gov/fog. #FallSafety

Driving in fog can be dangerous. Be on the lookout for sudden changes in visibility. The patchy nature of fog can lower visibility quickly especially if you are driving fast, so be sure to slow down. Visibility may also be lower near rivers. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/fog/ #FogSafety #FallSafety

Dense fog reduces visibilities to a quarter mile or less, which could result in motor vehicle accidents. Here’s what you can do if your vehicle breaks down in dense fog. Move your disabled vehicle to the shoulder of the road, only keep the hazard lights on, and if possible, walk away from the road. Learn more about #FogSafety by visiting weather.gov/fog.
