Rolla, Missouri – Dense fog is creating hazardous driving conditions across central Missouri this morning, with visibility dropping to one-quarter mile or less through 9 a.m., especially near Lake of the Ozarks and Rolla.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for areas northeast of Springfield, including Osage Beach, Rolla, and Jefferson City. The advisory began early Saturday and is expected to lift by mid-morning, though patchy fog may linger beyond that time.
Drivers along major routes like Interstate 44, Highway 63, and Route 54 should expect rapidly changing visibility. The fog could obscure flooded low-water crossings, especially in rural and hilly terrain. Officials urge motorists to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
This morning’s fog is typical for early June when humid air lingers after recent rain. Emergency services across Camden, Pulaski, and Phelps counties are monitoring conditions and caution that additional advisories may be issued if fog persists longer than expected.
