Expected
Effective: 
July 24, 2026 - 5:20am
Expires: 
July 24, 2026 - 8:00am
Description: 
Areas of fog will continue affecting much of south central/central Nebraska and north central Kansas early this morning. Visibility as low as 1 to 1/2 mile will be fairly widespread across much of the area, with embedded pockets of the area experiencing at least a brief period of dense fog reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or less...including within and near the Nebraska Tri Cities. Fog and resultant visibility will gradually improve over the next few hours, with any truly dense fog expected to dissipate or improve especially by between 9 and 10 AM. Given that the coverage of truly dense fog with visibility 1/4 mile or less is somewhat limited across the area as a whole, a formal Dense Fog Advisory is not expected to be issued at this time. However, please use caution this morning if encountering any dense fog while driving. Slow down, turn on your headlights, and leave plenty of distance in front of you.
