Fog is becoming quite dense across Central and North Central Alabama tonight.

Some clearing right at sunset has allowed for rapid condensation of the moist air near the surface.

Visibilities have been reduced to less than a mile in several locations. Haleyville and Cullman all have visibilities of 1/4 mile. Albertville is down to 1/2 mile.

Officially at the Birmingham Airport, the visibility at 6 p.m. was 4 miles, but we are encountering visibilities of less than one mile along I-459 near Derby Parkway.

Be careful if you are going to be driving this evening. Slow down and use low beams if you encounter dense fog.
