National Weather Service Issues Dense Fog Advisory

Despite unseasonably warm temperatures in the region, there has been a thick marine layer over the past couple of days, and Wednesday night will be no different, forecasters predict.

A dense fog advisory will be in effect from 6 p.m. Wednesday through 9 a.m. Thursday along the coast and in Culver City according to the National Weather Service.

"Dense fog near the coast will spread inland this evening and affect most of the coastal plains by midnight," according to the NWS. "The fog is expected to clear to the beaches by late Thursday morning."

Meteorologists predict that visibility will be limited to one quarter of a mile or less at times.

"Reduced visibilities and slick roadways will make driving potentially hazardous," according to the NWS, noting that Pacific Coast Highway, Sepulveda Boulevard, the 405, 110 and 710 freeways will be especially affected.

"If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you," forecasters said. "Fog can also make road surfaces slick so avoid using excessive speed," NWS advised.

In Culver City the extremely dense fog is expected to be at its worst at 11 p.m. Wednesday night. Beyond that, according to NWS, there will be increasing clouds, with a low around 52. West southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph will become light and variable in the evening.

Tomorrow morning in Culver City there will be areas of dense fog before 11 a.m. Otherwise, cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 74.
