Hastings, NE – A dense fog advisory is in effect for portions of central, east-central, and south-central Nebraska through 10 a.m. Tuesday. Drivers are urged to exercise caution as visibility may drop to a quarter mile or less, especially along major highways like U.S. Highway 6 and State Highway 10.

The fog is expected to persist through mid-morning Tuesday, with additional fog formation possible during the evening hours into Christmas Day. Tuesday’s high is forecast to reach 44°F, with mostly sunny conditions by the afternoon.
Looking ahead, dense fog may reappear Christmas morning, with visibility dropping again from 7 a.m. to noon before skies clear. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 43°F on Christmas Day, with calm winds adding to improved conditions.
For the remainder of the week, clouds will dominate Wednesday night into Thursday, with highs in the mid-40s. By Friday, rain chances will rise to 20%, followed by sunnier conditions for the weekend, with highs nearing 52°F by Saturday.
Travelers are encouraged to monitor local weather updates and plan routes accordingly, especially if driving during peak fog times.
