AKRON, Ohio — A Dense Fog Advisory has been activated for the second day in a row as a think blanket of fog has settled in throughout the region.
While it was originally expected to expire at 10 a.m., the National Weather Service has now extended the Dense Fog Advisory until 10 p.m. Thursday.
The foggy conditions also caused multiple schools to issue a two-hour delay Thursday morning.
“You’re going to need to allow extra time," says 3News' Senior Meteorologist Matt Wintz. "This is all the way up to the lakeshore today. Yesterday, our lakeshore counties were not included in the Dense Fog Advisory. It was a little bit better visibility, but not today."
And we're not alone in this thick fog.
"It is all over the eastern half of the country right now," Wintz explains. "This is incredible. We’ve got 1,300 miles of Dense Fog Advisories from Canada all the way down to the Gulf Coast. It also stretches from Colorado out toward Pennsylvania.”
