DMV Drenched: Fog and Rain Mar Memorial Day Plans
26 May
Summary
- Dense fog advisory issued due to visibility dropping to a quarter mile.
- Morning offers warm, mild start with terrible visibilities for travelers.
- Overcast and drizzly conditions are expected to continue for several days.
The Washington D.C. metropolitan area is experiencing a dreary Memorial Day with dense fog and persistent light rain. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for many parts of the region, with visibility reduced to as little as a quarter of a mile in some areas.
This inclement weather is significantly disrupting travel plans for those attending Memorial Day events, including the annual parade. While the rain showers are expected to diminish by the afternoon, the cloudy and drizzly pattern will likely continue through Tuesday and Wednesday. Brighter and drier conditions are not anticipated until Thursday and Friday.
Drivers heading to events are advised to exercise extreme caution due to the low visibility. For those planning to attend the downtown parade, Metro is highly recommended as an alternative to driving due to anticipated difficult parking conditions and several road closures affecting major avenues.
