As the L.A. traffic jam withered away, the fog came out to play Wednesday evening.
The National Weather Service issued a dense fog warning that lasts until Thursday at 10 a.m. There was visibility of one-quarter mile or less because of the fog in some areas, according to NWS. The weather was impacting coastal areas in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles.
For anyone encounter low visibility while driving, the NWS offers some simple tips:
- slow down
- use low beam headlights
- increase following distance
