Omaha, NE – Thick fog is set to settle over parts of Nebraska tonight, creating hazardous driving conditions. Forecasters say visibility could drop to less than a quarter of a mile in areas near the Missouri River.
According to the National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office, the densest fog is expected in darker gray-shaded areas highlighted on the advisory map. Fog will develop this evening and persist into Monday morning, potentially causing travel disruptions. Any lingering fog should dissipate by mid-morning on Monday.
The National Weather Service advises drivers to use low-beam headlights and maintain extra following distance when navigating through fog. Drivers should remain vigilant for sudden visibility changes. These conditions can pose serious risks, especially on poorly lit rural roads.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated through local forecasts and heed warnings if conditions worsen. Officials also recommend preparing for travel delays and avoiding unnecessary nighttime travel. Foggy conditions are most dangerous during late-night and early-morning hours when visibility is naturally lower.
The advisory remains in effect through Monday morning. Drivers traveling through impacted regions should exercise extreme caution. With proper precautions, severe accidents can be avoided.
