Be careful on the road. There’s a dense fog advisory for inland South Florida

Dense fog is stretching across parts of South Florida early Friday and forecasters are asking drivers to be extra careful during rush hour.

The fog will cause “hazardous driving conditions” across inland Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach with some areas possibly seeing a quarter mile or less of visibility at least until 8 a.m. Friday, according to a dense fog advisory issued by the National Weather Service in South Florida.

Some of the cities under the advisory include West Kendall, Florida City, Homestead and the Redland.

Fog is also being reported across some areas in the Gulf coast including the Glades, Hendry, Collier and mainland Monroe counties.

Drivers should turn on their low-beam lights, drive slowly and watch for pedestrians and other vehicles.
