Seattle Residents, Brace for Freezing Fog Tomorrow Morning – Hazardous Driving Conditions Ahead

Advisory Details:

The Freezing Fog Advisory will be in effect from 4 AM to 10 AM tomorrow. This includes the Seattle metropolitan area and surrounding regions. Dense freezing fog is expected to reduce visibility to less than a quarter-mile, with bridges, overpasses, and other exposed surfaces becoming icy and slick.

Safety Tips for Navigating the Fog:

  • Use low-beam headlights to enhance visibility without causing glare.
  • Reduce speed and leave extra space between vehicles to avoid sudden stops.
  • Watch for slick patches on bridges and overpasses, where ice forms quickly.
  • If possible, delay non-essential travel until the fog lifts and conditions improve.
  • Stay updated with local weather forecasts and traffic reports.

While the fog is expected to dissipate by mid-morning, it could cause significant disruptions for early commuters. By staying cautious and prepared, you can reduce the risk of accidents and ensure your safety.

Stay safe and alert, Seattle
