Springfield, Missouri – A dense fog advisory is in effect across south-central and southwest Missouri until 9 a.m. this morning, creating hazardous travel conditions for drivers. The National Weather Service warns that visibility may drop to a mile or less, particularly in cities like Springfield, Branson, West Plains, and Nixa.
According to the National Weather Service, the low visibility caused by thick fog could make driving dangerous, with an increased risk of accidents, especially on rural roads and highways. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
In addition to Springfield and Branson, other areas affected include West Plains, Ava, Monett, and Ozark, where drivers should expect similar conditions. The fog may linger in areas near mountain passes or lakes, where visibility can be even more impaired.
With reduced visibility and foggy roads, the National Weather Service recommends postponing travel if possible or using extra caution if you must drive. Affected areas should remain under the advisory until late morning. Stay updated through the National Weather Service for any additional changes or extended warnings.
