Special Weather Statement issued October 4 at 12:22AM EDT by NWS Jackson KY
Pockets of dense fog have developed across parts of eastern
Kentucky early this morning, with visibility reduced to below
one-quarter mile in many locations. These conditions may persist
until shortly after sunrise before the fog begins to lift or burn
off.
You should expect to encounter sharp reductions in visibility if
traveling through the remainder of the overnight. Use low-beam
headlights, allow yourself extra time to reach your destination,
and increase your separation distance from other vehicles.
SAFETY and DATA MESSAGE
When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. 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.
Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location.
