Dense Fog Advisory Issued for Nashville Area Until 9 AM
Eight Middle Tennessee counties face dense fog reducing visibility to less than half a mile this morning, creating hazardous driving conditions.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — The National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory early Friday morning for eight Middle Tennessee counties, warning of visibility dropping below half a mile in some areas.
The advisory, issued at 3:44 a.m. CDT, affects Davidson, Lawrence, Macon, Maury, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, and Williamson Counties and remains in effect until 9 a.m. this morning, according to the NWS Nashville office.
Hazardous Driving Conditions Expected
Officials warn that low visibility could create hazardous driving conditions throughout the affected areas. The dense fog is reducing visibility to less than half a mile in some locations, making morning commutes particularly dangerous.
The National Weather Service advises drivers to reduce speed, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles when traveling through fog-covered areas.
Counties Under Advisory
The advisory covers a broad swath of Middle Tennessee, including the greater Nashville metropolitan area through Davidson County. Other affected counties include Lawrence, Macon, Maury, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, and Williamson.
Motorists in these areas should expect reduced visibility during the early morning hours and plan for longer travel times. The fog is expected to lift as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change throughout the morning.
The advisory is scheduled to expire at 9 a.m. CDT, though localized fog may persist in some areas beyond that time. Drivers should continue to exercise caution even after the official advisory period ends.
