Dense fog settled over parts of the Florida today. Visibility dropped very low.

Fog is tiny water drops in the air near the ground. It looks like clouds you can touch.

When visibility is very low — about ¼ mile or less — it can be dangerous.

Meteorologists issue a “Dense Fog Advisory” to alert drivers and families.

Fog forms when warm, moist air cools down, turning water vapor into tiny drops.

If you go out when it’s foggy: Slow down. Use headlights. Stay alert.

Fog is a great way to explore weather science with your child this week!

Make fog in a jar: Hot water + ice = tiny droplets (must do with adult help).

Try a “Fog Science Worksheet” to learn how fog forms and moves.

Create a “Fog Safety Plan” worksheet for your family or classroom.

Fog can last longer near water or valleys because the air stays cool.

Understanding weather keeps kids safe and curious about the world.
