Wichita, KS – Patchy dense fog is expected to reduce visibility to about a quarter mile in certain areas of central Kansas early this morning, potentially causing hazardous travel conditions. Travelers are urged to exercise caution, slow down, and allow extra time to reach their destination.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, the fog is most likely to develop in low-lying areas, particularly between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. today. Areas affected include Wichita, Hutchinson, Great Bend, and Salina, with visibility potentially dipping to less than a quarter mile in short distances.
Motorists should prepare for slower driving speeds, especially along highways and rural roads, where dense fog could make it difficult to see road signs and other vehicles. If driving, keep headlights on low beam, increase following distance, and be extra vigilant at intersections.
The fog is expected to lift by late morning as temperatures rise and sunlight breaks through. Stay tuned for further updates from local authorities, as conditions may change.
