FREEZING FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM THIS MORNING

  • WHAT…Visibility as low as one quarter mile in freezing fog.
  • WHERE…The Rogue and Illinois Valleys in Josephine and Jackson Counties. This includes Medford, Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point and Selma. This also includes portions of Interstate 5 and Highway 199 as well as the passes north of Grants Pass and Hayes Hill Summit.

  • IMPACTS…Hazardous driving conditions from low visibility and slippery conditions due to frost on bridges and area roadways.
  • If possible, wait for temperatures to warm above freezing before traveling.
  • Slow down and give 3 times as much space as normal between vehicles.
