Foggy Conditions Disrupt Travel in Puget Sound Region

Dense fog is expected to persist in the Puget Sound region, including Seattle, Tacoma, and Bremerton, until midday Thursday, causing low visibility and hazardous driving conditions. The fog is being trapped by high pressure and local topography, with the lack of wind contributing to its persistence. The Washington State Ferries had to cancel a route due to low visibility, but it has since resumed. Breezy conditions on Friday will help clear the fog, with rain showers and snowfall expected in the mountain passes. Mild Pacific moisture may lead to freezing rain in the mountains on Christmas Day, followed by heavier rain for holiday travel on Tuesday.
