Nebraska – Residents of south-central and southeastern Nebraska should prepare for dense fog early Monday morning, creating potential driving hazards. The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory until 10 a.m., affecting major highways including Interstate 80 and surrounding roads. Visibility can decrease to as little as 1/4 mile, making travel conditions hazardous. Drivers are advised to use low beam headlights, increase following distance and listen for oncoming traffic before turning.

According to the National Weather Service, dense fog is just the beginning. As Monday progresses, expect thunderstorms across the region, with the possibility of heavy rain and gusty winds. The chance of precipitation increases to 80% by the afternoon, with precipitation up to half a centimeter. This combination of dense morning fog and afternoon thunderstorms can disrupt travel plans, commutes and outdoor activities.

Looking ahead, Tuesday’s forecast shows a high of 55°F with a mix of sunshine and skies in the afternoon, followed by cooler temperatures in the evening, dropping to 37°F. Wednesday is expected to bring partly sunny conditions with highs of 56°F, providing some respite from the active start to the week. However, drivers should remain alert to changing weather conditions throughout the week.

Residents and travelers should check local updates regularly and prepare for variable visibility and slippery roads. Make sure vehicle lights work properly and avoid sudden braking on foggy or wet roads to avoid accidents. Please remain alert and cautious when traveling in affected areas to ensure personal and public safety during these rapidly changing weather conditions.
