Medford Metro Under a Dense Fog Advisory Until Friday Morning

DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM FRIDAY

WHAT…Visibility of less than a quarter of a mile in dense fog.
WHERE…The Rogue River Valley in Jackson County. This includes the cities of Rogue River, Gold Hill, Jacksonville, White City, Central Point, and Medford.
WHEN…Until 4 AM Friday.
IMPACTS…Hazardous driving conditions due to low visibility.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS…A front is likely to mix the air mass and bring light rain to the Rogue Valley after 4 AM.
Slow down and allow for plenty of room between you and other vehicles.
Fog makes objects appear farther away than they are
Use low beams. High beams reflect back thick fog, making visibility worse for you and other drivers.
Be prepared. Keep your headlights clean. That way, you’re ready for low-visibility conditions
Don’t use cruise control. Most crashes occur because the driver is going too fast for weather conditions.
