A dense fog advisory went into effect at 7:35 a.m. and will be in place until 10 a.m. for Broward and Miami-Dade counties, the National Weather Service said.<\/p>\n<h3>Visibility Plummets in Some Areas<\/h3>\n<p>In Miami, visibility was down to 6 miles. Normal is 10 miles. Opa-locka was at 4 miles, Pembroke Pines was at 2 miles, and Homestead and Kendall dropped to just 0.6 and 0.1 miles of visibility, respectively, by the time the advisory went into effect.<\/p>\n<h3>Calm, Light Winds Contribute to Fog Formation<\/h3>\n<p>Calm, light winds allowed for this fog to develop, said NBC6 Meteorologist Chelsea Ambriz. &#8220;Temperatures are in the upper-60s, and our dew points are also in the upper-60s. That&#8217;s why it feels warm, it feels humid, it feels muggy out there this morning, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s creating that fog,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips from the National Weather Service for Driving in Fog<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Drive with lights on low beam.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce speed. Allow for plenty of room between you and other cars.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid crossing traffic unless absolutely necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Listen for traffic you cannot see.<\/li>\n<li>Use wipers and defroster as necessary for maximum vision.<\/li>\n<li>Be patient! Don&#8217;t pass lines of traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Unless absolutely necessary, don&#8217;t stop on any freeway or other heavily traveled road.<\/li>\n<li>If your car is disabled or you can\u2019t continue, pull well onto the shoulder and turn off lights. Move away from your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Consider postponing your trip until the fog clears.<\/li>\n<li>Be especially cautious in and near school zones. Watch for flashing yellow or red signals on school buses. Watch for children waiting for buses in the fog.<\/li>\n<li>Also, be aware that smoke from grass and forest fires along roadways can combine with fog to rapidly drop visibilities to zero.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a developing story. Refresh for updates.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The fog is expected to clear as the day progresses, with partly cloudy skies and a high of 78 degrees forecasted for the South Florida area. However, drivers are advised to exercise caution and follow the tips provided by the National Weather Service to ensure a safe commute.<\/p>\n<h4>FAQs<\/h4>\n<p>* What caused the fog in South Florida?<br \/>\nThe fog was caused by calm, light winds and high temperatures and dew points in the 60s.<br \/>\n* How long will the fog advisory be in effect?<br \/>\nThe fog advisory will be in effect until 10 a.m. for Broward and Miami-Dade counties.<br \/>\n* What are some tips for driving in fog?<br \/>\nSome tips for driving in fog include reducing speed, using low beam headlights, and being patient and cautious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foggy Morning in South Florida Parts of South Florida Start the Day with a Thick Blanket of Fog Some parts of South Florida, particularly Homestead, had a foggy start to Tuesday.
