Dodge City, KS – Drivers across southwest Kansas should prepare for low visibility and slick roads overnight as rain showers and fog move into the region, according to the National Weather Service in Dodge City.
Forecasters say fog development is likely between 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. Tuesday, October 14, with visibility potentially dropping to one-half mile or less at times. Areas with the highest chance for dense fog include Dodge City, Scott City, and Great Bend, where patchy drizzle may also occur.
The weather service warns that sudden changes in visibility could create hazardous driving conditions, especially during early morning commutes. Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time when fog is present.
Light rain showers are expected to persist into early Tuesday before gradually tapering off by midday. Overnight lows will fall into the mid-40s, with calm winds and damp conditions lingering across the region.
Drivers traveling along U.S. Highways 50, 56, and 283 should remain alert for fog-prone areas through Tuesday morning.
