Superfog could impact travel to the Super Bowl in New Orleans

The combination of dense fog and smoke is expected to create hazardous travel conditions across southeastern Louisiana throughout Super Bowl weekend. A large marsh fire broke out southwest of New Orleans on Thursday in St. Charles Parish. While now homes are threatened, visibilities along major interstates west of New Orleans could drop to dangerously low levels.
