Omaha, Nebraska – Drivers across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa may face reduced visibility and slick roads overnight as fog and scattered storms move in. Conditions could complicate early travel Sunday and create safety concerns along major corridors, including Interstate 80 and Highway 75.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, fog is expected to thicken late Saturday into early Sunday, with dense patches forming across northeast Nebraska. Spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms will also develop through Monday, keeping roadways damp and commutes slower than normal.
Omaha, Council Bluffs, and surrounding suburbs will see the greatest risk Sunday night into Monday morning. Periodic storms could bring brief downpours, making it difficult for drivers during the Monday morning rush. Southwest Iowa communities, including Atlantic and Red Oak, may also see thunderstorms flare through Tuesday.
Residents are urged to plan extra travel time, use headlights in fog, and avoid flooded roadways. With repeated rounds of showers expected, localized ponding on streets and rural roads remains a concern. Storm chances taper off slightly by midweek, giving the region a brief break.
The unsettled pattern continues through Thursday, keeping conditions damp and temperatures mild. More organized showers may return by late week.
Warnings and advisories may be issued if storms intensify, and residents should monitor local updates.
