Morning Fog Alert: Louisiana Drivers Face Dangerous Low Visibility—Here’s How to Stay Safe on the Roads!

If you’re heading out this morning, be prepared for some serious fog. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across parts of Louisiana until 9 AM, and it’s creating low visibility on the roads. This is the kind of fog that sneaks up on you fast, so take it easy and drive with caution.

What’s Happening:

  • Dense fog is reducing visibility to a quarter mile or less in many areas.
  • Fog is patchy, which means clear spots can quickly turn into fog banks. Be ready for sudden changes.

Tips for Safe Driving:

  • Use your low beams. High beams will reflect off the fog and make it harder to see.
  • Slow down and leave extra space between you and the car ahead.
  • Avoid sudden stops or lane changes. Give yourself time to react.
  • If you can, leave a bit earlier to account for delays.

What’s Coming Later Today:

Once the fog clears by mid-morning, expect a warm and humid day:

  • New Orleans: Cloudy with highs around 77°F (25°C).
  • Baton Rouge: Warm and cloudy with a high near 80°F (27°C).
  • Shreveport: A high of 77°F (25°C) with low clouds and the possibility of afternoon showers.

Final Thoughts:

Foggy mornings like this can be tricky, but a little extra caution goes a long way. Slow down, stay alert, and keep those low beams on. Once the fog lifts, it’ll be smooth sailing into a warm, muggy day. Stay safe out there, Louisiana!
