Special Weather Statement issued October 31 at 11:36AM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR

Areas of dense fog have been observed through the Walla Walla Valley and along the Blue Mountain foothills. Within fog, visibilities of one- quarter mile or less are expected to persist locally through the afternoon along Highway 12 and along the Oregon Washington Highway. Use extra caution while traveling as visibilities can change quickly. If fog is encountered, use low- beam headlights and keep plenty of space between you and other vehicles.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
