Dallas, Texas – Drivers across much of North and Central Texas are waking up to thick fog blanketing highways and cities, with visibility dropping to near zero in several areas through 10 a.m. Thursday. Morning commuters on I-20, I-35, and US 87 should expect dangerous travel conditions and extra delays.
According to the National Weather Service offices in Fort Worth and San Angelo, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. CDT. Visibility in the advisory zones—including Dallas, Waco, Fort Worth, Abilene, and San Angelo—could fall below one-quarter mile, especially along I-20 from Sweetwater to Terrell and US 87 north of San Angelo.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, drivers should use low beams and avoid high speeds on I-30, I-35W, and surrounding surface roads. Central Texas cities like Waco, Temple, and Killeen may also experience patchy dense fog through mid-morning. Similar conditions stretch into Brownwood and Coleman in the northern Hill Country.
TxDOT urges drivers to reduce speed, increase following distance, and allow extra time for morning travel. Fog may lift gradually between 9 and 10 a.m., but lingering low visibility could persist in sheltered or low-lying areas.
Additional advisories are not expected after 10 a.m., but drivers should remain alert for changing conditions during the morning commute.
