DUBOIS COUNTY – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Louisville, KY has issued a Special Weather Statement for Dubois County due to patchy dense fog. Motorists are advised to be prepared for rapid changes in visibility this morning.

This statement is effective immediately, as of 4:59 AM EDT on October 12, 2026, and is expected to expire at 9:30 AM EDT today. The NWS reports that clear skies and light winds have led to the development of fog, with observed visibilities dropping to as low as one-quarter mile at times.

Drivers in Dubois County should increase following distances between vehicles, use low beam headlights, and allow extra time to reach their destinations this morning. These precautions are crucial to ensure safety during periods of reduced visibility.
