Nebraska-Iowa Border – Motorists in the Missouri River Valley and along Interstate 29 are facing a dense fog advisory this morning. Visibility has dropped below a quarter of a mile in areas near the Nebraska-Iowa state line, making driving hazardous.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Omaha/Valley office, the advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. today. The fog is particularly dense in river valleys, where cooler temperatures near the water have intensified visibility issues.

Thursday night will bring patchy fog again, followed by mostly cloudy conditions with lows around 38°F. Clearer skies and mild temperatures are forecast for Friday, with highs reaching 55°F and a slight chance of showers in the afternoon.
