Dense Fog Advisory Active for Malibu Until Saturday Morning

Malibu is currently under a dense fog advisory issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) on Saturday at 2:34 a.m. The notice will remain active until 9 a.m. according to the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard office.

“Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog.”

The NWS also warned that low visibility can create hazardous driving conditions. Motorists are urged to drive carefully and follow safety recommendations.

“If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.”

Safety Guidelines for Drivers

Reduce your speed and allow additional travel time to reach your destination safely.
Turn on low-beam headlights to increase your visibility and ensure taillights are illuminated.
If available, use fog lights for better road visibility.
Avoid high-beam headlights, as they cause glare and reduce visibility.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to anticipate sudden stops or lane changes.

Important Advisory Note

A dense fog advisory means widespread low-lying fog has formed, reducing visibility to a quarter mile or less. These conditions demand extreme caution while driving, and if possible, residents are advised to delay travel until the fog lifts.

Author’s summary: Foggy conditions in Malibu have severely reduced visibility, prompting the NWS to urge drivers to slow down, use appropriate headlights, and exercise heightened caution until Saturday morning.
