Tulsa, OK — Dense fog is expected to settle over parts of eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas tonight into Tuesday morning, impacting visibility for drivers.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Tulsa reports a 60-70% chance of patchy fog reducing visibility to less than half a mile in many areas. The fog is expected to develop overnight and persist between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
According to NWS, the most affected areas include Tulsa, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, with the potential for rapid changes in visibility. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, reduce speed, and allow extra time for their commutes.
