Fog A Hazard On Hudson Valley Roads: National Weather Service

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The National Weather Service issued hazardous weather outlooks for Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester counties due to the continued fog.

While the dense fog of overnight, where visibility was often less than half-a-mile, is lifting, , motorists should drive with extra caution early Thursday morning as visibilities may change rapidly, the NWS said.

Slow down, leave extra distance between vehicles, and use low beam headlights.

Visibilities are expected to quickly improve away from the coast in the early to mid-morning as fog scours out, but may take until early afternoon to improve across immediate southern and eastern coastal areas, the NWS said.

Later today, there's a chance of thunderstorms.

"Typical spring roller coaster continues," said Alex Marra of Hudson Valley Weather.
