URGENT UPDATE: A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for multiple regions across Oklahoma, prompting immediate caution for morning commuters. As of now, visibility is plummeting to less than a quarter mile in many areas, creating hazardous driving conditions.
Officials warn that the advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. today, with fog expected to lift shortly after. Drivers are urged to take extra precautions: slow down, utilize headlights, and maintain safe following distances. The NWS emphasizes that visibility of one quarter mile or less can pose significant risks on the roads.
Later today, after the fog dissipates, Oklahomans can expect mostly sunny skies with a high temperature near 63 degrees. However, weather conditions will shift dramatically tonight, with an 80% chance of precipitation before 9 p.m., leading to potential thunderstorms until midnight. Rainfall amounts could reach up to a quarter of an inch, or more during storms, further complicating travel conditions.
Looking ahead, tomorrow is predicted to have a 40% chance of showers before noon, transitioning to a clearer afternoon with highs around 65 degrees. The rest of the week promises mostly clear skies, with nighttime temperatures dipping into the high 30s, leading up to a sunny Thanksgiving Day forecasted at 57 degrees.
As the fog continues to impact visibility across the state, the NWS urges all residents to stay informed and plan accordingly. The current weather situation not only affects daily commutes but also poses a risk to overall safety on the roads. Stay tuned for further updates as conditions develop.
