Hastings, Neb. – Drivers across south central Nebraska may face dangerous travel conditions early Tuesday as dense fog settles into the region, reducing visibility to a quarter mile or less in spots. The morning fog is expected across the Tri-Cities and north central Kansas, potentially lasting until around 9 a.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, the greater weather threat develops midweek as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms take aim at Nebraska. Storm chances rise Wednesday afternoon and night, with forecasters noting the potential for stronger storms capable of producing heavy rain. The risk continues into Thursday before conditions briefly improve Friday.
Communities including Grand Island, Kearney, and Hastings could see the heaviest activity late Wednesday, though forecasters caution it is still too early to determine the severity. Light winds out of the south will aid in storm development, with temperatures holding in the mid-70s.
Residents are urged to use caution during the morning commute Tuesday due to limited visibility and to prepare for possible thunderstorm-related disruptions midweek. Charging devices and securing outdoor items ahead of the storm window is advised.
Hazardous Weather Outlooks remain in effect, and additional advisories could be issued as Wednesday’s storm threat approaches.
