Dodge City, KS – Dense fog is expected to blanket Dodge City and surrounding areas during the Monday morning commute, significantly reducing visibility. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Dodge City warns that visibility could drop to as low as a quarter-mile at times, posing a hazard for drivers on the roads. Commuters are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time to reach their destinations safely.
According to the NWS, the fog is forecasted to persist throughout the morning hours, dissipating as temperatures rise later in the day. However, residents should also prepare for another round of potentially severe weather Monday night. A complex of thunderstorms is expected to move into the area from Colorado around 10 p.m. The storms will likely bring damaging winds, with gusts reaching 50-60 mph, and the potential for hail up to the size of quarters.
The NWS emphasizes that the most severe weather conditions are anticipated to occur north of U.S. Route 50. These storms are projected to continue through early Tuesday morning as they progress eastward across northern sections of southwest Kansas. Residents should stay informed and take necessary precautions for both fog and severe storms.
