... Dense fog advisory in effect until 3 PM CST Monday...
The National Weather Service in Duluth has issued a dense fog advisory... which is in effect until 3 PM CST Monday.
Fog... some dense... will continue from the twin ports area... north along the North Shore of Lake Superior. This afternoon... the fog will be most dense in the higher terrain just inland from Lake Superior. Visibilities will drop to a quarter mile or less at times. Interstate 35... as well as portions of highways 53 and 61 will be impacted by the fog. The fog will become more widespread tonight.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A dense fog advisory means visibilities will be reduced to less than a quarter mile in some locations. Rapid changes in visibility from a few miles to only a few hundred feet may occur over very short distances. If you are driving... slow down... use low beam headlights and be prepared for the sudden loss of visibility as you enter fog banks. Many deadly accidents happen in instances where dense fog is not widespread... but where rapid changes in visibility occur and drivers suddenly cannot see as they drive into a dense fog bank.
