Hastings, NE – A dense fog advisory is in effect until noon Wednesday across portions of Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa, impacting travel with hazardous conditions. Drivers are urged to exercise caution as freezing fog could cause slick roads and reduced visibility.
According to the National Weather Service, visibility in some areas is less than a quarter mile. Affected regions include central and south-central Nebraska, north-central Kansas, and parts of east-central Iowa. Freezing fog is also expected to make untreated and elevated surfaces slippery, posing additional risks for motorists.
The advisory recommends slowing down, using low-beam headlights, and maintaining a safe distance between vehicles. Commuters should allow extra time for travel this morning and be vigilant in areas prone to ice formation, such as bridges and overpasses.
