.NOW...
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...PATCHY DENSE FOG WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
MIDDLE TENNESSEE. AREAS ESPECIALLY PRONE TO FOG DEVELOPMENT...LOCAL
LOW LYING AREAS AND AREAS NEAR BODIES OF WATER...AND LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION...WILL HAVE THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT. WHERE PATCHY DENSE FOG
DEVELOPS...VISIBILITIES WILL BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN ONE QUARTER
OF A MILE.

HERE ARE SOME DRIVING SAFETY TIPS WHEN ENCOUNTERING DENSE FOG...

DRIVE WITH YOUR LIGHTS ON LOW BEAM. HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL ONLY
BE REFLECTED BACK OFF THE FOG AND ACTUALLY IMPAIR VISIBILITY EVEN MORE.

REDUCE YOUR SPEED...AND WATCH YOUR SPEEDOMETER. FOG CREATES A
VISUAL ILLUSION OF SLOW MOTION WHEN YOU MAY ACTUALLY BE SPEEDING.

LISTEN FOR TRAFFIC YOU CAN NOT SEE. OPEN YOUR WINDOW A LITTLE...TO
HEAR BETTER.

USE THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE ROAD OR PAINTED ROAD MARKINGS AS A GUIDE.

BE PATIENT. DO NOT PASS LINES OF TRAFFIC.

DO NOT STOP ON A FREEWAY OR HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD. IF YOUR CAR
STALLS OR BECOMES DISABLED...TURN YOUR VEHICLE'S LIGHTS OFF...AND
TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. PEOPLE TEND TO FOLLOW TAIL
LIGHTS WHEN DRIVING IN THE FOG. MOVE AWAY FROM A VEHICLE TO AVOID
INJURY.
