Miami, FL – Dense fog is forecast to blanket portions of South Florida tonight, posing significant travel risks for drivers. The Gulf Coast and interior areas are expected to experience the worst visibility conditions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Miami, fog will likely reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less. The risk is highest during the late evening and overnight hours, continuing through early Tuesday morning. Coastal regions, interior areas, and even east coast metropolitan zones are under advisory.
NWS officials emphasize the dangers of driving in dense fog, especially on highways and bridges. They recommend reducing speed, using low-beam headlights, and maintaining a safe following distance. Motorists should plan extra time for commutes and avoid driving unless necessary.
The weather agency released updated maps highlighting the regions with the highest fog risk. Probabilities for extremely low visibility stretch from central South Florida to parts of the east coast. By mid-morning Tuesday, forecasters expect conditions to improve as temperatures rise.
Experts warn that dense fog can develop quickly, reducing visibility without warning. Those traveling late tonight or early tomorrow should check local weather updates before heading out. Residents are also encouraged to share fog alerts with others to ensure public safety.
South Florida often experiences dense fog during winter months due to cooler temperatures and higher humidity levels. This event serves as a reminder to stay prepared during peak fog seasons.
