Overview
- The National Weather Service issued advisories effective until 10 a.m. for Eastern Curry, Josephine and Jackson counties, the Lower Columbia Basin, and the Foothills of the Northern Blue Mountains.
- Forecasters warn visibility may fall to one quarter of a mile or less in widespread dense fog.
- Low visibility could make driving hazardous, and freezing fog is possible where temperatures are near or below freezing, producing slick spots.
- Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights or fog lights, avoid high beams, maintain extra following distance, use lane markings to stay in lane, and consider delaying travel.
- In near-zero visibility, turn on hazard lights and stop in a safe parking area, or if none is available, pull well off the roadway, switch off all lights except hazards, set the emergency brake, and release the brake pedal to avoid illuminated tail lights.
