Dense Fog Advisory Hits Newberry, SC: What You Need to Know
Good morning, Newberry! As we kick off a new day on January 6, 2026, it looks like we’re in for some *interesting weather.* A **Dense Fog Advisory** has been issued by the National Weather Service, and it’s effective until 10:00 AM today. So, let’s take a closer look at what this means for you and your morning plans.
Current Conditions
As we stand at this very moment, it’s *partly cloudy out* there with the temperature hovering at a mild 46°F (8°C). Not too shabby for January, right? But don’t let that fool you. As we approach the morning hours, that *fog is rolling in,* and we’re expected to see visibility drop to a mere one-quarter mile or even less.
The Fog Forecast
If you’re an early riser, be extra cautious if you’re heading out. According to the hourly forecast, starting around 7:00 AM, we’re likely to see fog creeping in, with the temperature rising to around 47°F (8°C). Don’t expect it to let up anytime soon! By 10:00 AM, the foggy conditions might still be present, and visibility could continue to make driving conditions **hazardously low**.
- 7:00 AM: Fog, 47°F (8°C)
- 8:00 AM: Fog, 48°F (9°C)
- 9:00 AM: Fog, 49°F (10°C)
- 10:00 AM: Fog, 53°F (12°C)
- 11:00 AM: Fog, 56°F (13°C)
- 12:00 PM: Fog, 58°F (15°C)
- 1:00 PM: Partly sunny, 61°F (16°C)
So, if you can hold off on your commute until later in the day, that might be wise. After 1 PM, we can expect clearer skies with temperatures rising into the *low 60s*, which is a lovely treat for January!
