Superfog near New Orleans has led to preventative closures of parts of I-10 due to near-zero visibility. Aviation hazards, including fog and low stratus, have affected travel, with a plume of smoke-enhanced fog impacting Lake Pontchartrain and causing brief closures of I-10 and I-510. A fogbow was also observed in Greenville. The situation has prompted warnings for safe driving and flight precautions.
