Areas of fog will reduce the visibility to one quarter mile at times in parts of northwest and north central North Dakota this evening. This includes the Highway 2 corridor from Minot to Tioga. Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing visibilities, and use extra caution traveling. Use low beam headlights and be extra cautious at intersections and railroad crossings.
This fog may thicken later this evening and expand farther southwest and a Dense Fog Advisory may eventually be needed.
