The National Weather Service issued a weather alert for dense fog in Berkshire County that will last until 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday. The fog is especially dense in river valleys, with visibilities dropping to one quarter of a mile or less at times. Motorists are advised to use low beam headlights and allow for increased braking distance.
When driving in foggy conditions, the weather service recommends reducing speed, using low-beam headlights, avoiding high beams, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles, staying in your lane, and pulling over in cases of near-zero visibility.
By following these safety tips, drivers can navigate foggy conditions more safely and reduce the risk of accidents. The weather alert is part of the Advance Local Weather Alerts service provided by United Robots, which uses machine learning to compile the latest data from the National Weather Service. Stay informed and stay safe on the roads during inclement weather conditions.
