Dense fog is stretching across South Florida Monday morning, and forecasters are asking drivers to be extra careful during their morning commute.
The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory until at least 9 a.m. for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Places that might see fog include Kendall, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami, Homestead, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Davie, Hollywood and Pembroke Pines.
Forecasters say the fog is causing “hazardous driving conditions,” with visibility reduced to a quarter of a mile or less. The fog is expected to completely go away by 10 a.m.
“If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you,” forecasters wrote in the hazardous weather outlook.
