Omaha, NE – Early Tuesday drivers in Omaha and surrounding communities could face low visibility as patchy fog settles across eastern Nebraska and into western Iowa before sunrise. Some areas may see visibility drop below a mile, especially along rural highways and river valleys, making the morning commute potentially hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, fog is expected to linger until about 6 a.m. Tuesday before giving way to mostly sunny skies. Areas most affected include Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Lincoln, Nebraska City, and Council Bluffs. Calm winds and high humidity will keep the air still overnight, allowing fog to thicken in spots.
Motorists are urged to slow down, use headlights, and keep extra space between vehicles during the morning hours. By late morning, conditions will improve rapidly, leading to a warm and clear afternoon with highs near 84°F.
The quiet weather pattern continues through midweek, with sunshine and highs in the 80s through Thursday before heat builds into the mid-90s by Friday. No additional hazards are expected after Tuesday morning, though another round of showers and thunderstorms may develop over the weekend.
