On Thursday, the National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory effective until Friday at 10 a.m. for Central Douglas County, Eastern Curry County, Josephine County, and Jackson County.
"Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog."
"Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous."

Safety Recommendations for Drivers
- Slow down and allow extra travel time to reach your destination safely.
- Keep your headlights on low beam to improve visibility and activate taillights.
- Use fog lights if your vehicle is equipped with them.
- Avoid using high beams, as they reflect off the fog and reduce visibility.

- Follow lane markings to help stay positioned correctly on the road.
Summary
