- Forecasters warn visibility may drop to one quarter mile or less, creating hazardous driving, with guidance to slow down, use low-beam headlights and leave extra following distance.
- In Oregon’s Lower Treasure Valley, an advisory was described as improving, though the weather service cautioned that patchy dense fog could persist through noon MST despite earlier references to a 9 a.m. end time.
- A separate 5:54 a.m. alert called for patchy fog until 8 a.m. across northwestern Oregon lowlands, including the Portland metro and Willamette Valley, with visibility near a mile and occasional pockets down to a quarter mile.
- Officials reiterate zero-visibility protocol: activate hazard lights, pull into a safe location or far off the roadway, then turn off all lights except hazards and remain stopped until conditions improve.
