URGENT UPDATE: A Dense Fog Advisory is currently in effect across much of Oklahoma, as the National Weather Service (NWS) warns of dangerously low visibility for morning commuters. This advisory spans central, east central, northern, northwest, southeast, and southern regions of the state, with visibility dropping to less than a quarter mile in some areas.
As you head out this morning, be aware that these hazardous driving conditions are likely to persist until at least 9 a.m. local time, when the fog is expected to dissipate. The NWS strongly advises drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to navigate through this challenging weather safely.
Following the fog, Oklahomans can expect a clear day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching a high of around 63 degrees. However, the calm will be short-lived, as the region braces for a potential storm later tonight. Showers are forecasted before 9 p.m., with an 80% chance of precipitation and possible thunderstorms until midnight. Rainfall amounts could range from a tenth to a quarter of an inch, with heavier totals in any storms.
Tomorrow, residents should prepare for a 40% chance of showers before noon, but the afternoon is expected to clear up, bringing back sunny conditions with highs near 65 degrees. The weather outlook for the week shows mostly clear skies and fluctuating temperatures, dipping into the high 30s at night and reaching the low 60s during the day, culminating in a sunny Thanksgiving Day with highs around 57 degrees.
The NWS emphasizes that the current fog poses significant risks to drivers. “Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog,” they report, urging caution. Commuters are reminded of the importance of adjusting driving habits in such weather conditions to avoid accidents.
