Columbus Tupelo West Point Starkville, MS, November 5, 2026 — A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for the Columbus-Tupelo-West Point-Starkville area, with conditions expected to impact the early morning commute. The advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. today.
The formation of dense fog is attributed to overnight temperature drops across the region. Drivers are being cautioned to exercise extra vigilance as visibility may be significantly reduced during this period.
