Dense Fog Alert: Why Indiana Drivers Face a Dangerous Monday Morning Commute

Indiana is waking up to dangerous driving conditions as thick fog reduces visibility to near zero in some areas. With a Dense Fog Advisory in effect until noon, drivers are being warned: slow down or risk serious accidents on the roads.

Dense Fog Disrupting Monday Morning Commute: The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of Indiana, particularly along and north of U.S. Route 30. Visibility has dropped to a quarter-mile or less, making the morning commute risky for everyone on the road.

Drive With Extreme Caution: Drivers are urged to reduce speed, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance. Slick roads from overnight rain could make conditions even more dangerous, so extra care is critical.

Light Rain Adds to the Danger: Light rain showers are expected to continue through the morning, which could cause wet, slippery roads. Combine that with dense fog, and you have a recipe for travel delays and potential accidents.

When Will the Fog Lift? The fog is expected to dissipate by noon as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions improve. Until then, motorists should monitor local traffic updates and give themselves extra time to reach their destinations.

 Safety First: If you must travel this morning, stay alert, drive slowly, and consider delaying your trip if conditions worsen. Remember, fog can be unpredictable, and visibility can change rapidly.
