Special Weather Statement issued July 24 at 7:20AM CDT by NWS Hastings NE

Details

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.
