Dense Fog Advisory in Central Oregon
The National Weather Service issued an updated dense fog advisory on Wednesday at 7:38 a.m. for Central Oregon.
Visibility and Driving Conditions
Visibility can drop to as low as one quarter of a mile due to dense fog. Such low visibility creates hazardous driving conditions.

What a Dense Fog Advisory Means
