Oklahoma City residents are under a dense fog advisory this morning, with the National Weather Service warning of low visibility that may affect commuters. Visibility is expected to be a quarter mile or less in central, east central, southeast, and southern Oklahoma until 9 AM CDT.
With the humidity pegged at 100% and a dewpoint equal to the current temperature of 62°F, concerns are high for the patches of fog that have enveloped parts of the region. "Areas of fog, including locally dense fog, will continue through 9 AM this morning across central, south-central, and southeast Oklahoma," stated the NWS advisory. The weather forecast also indicates a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon, urging Oklahomans to stay vigilant.
The National Weather Service predicts scattered thunderstorms for the rest of the day, starting after 3 PM in west-central to central Oklahoma. These storms may bring strong winds and hail. While the chance of thunderstorms will continue into the evening near and south of Interstate 40, the risk of severe weather is expected to decrease after 10 PM.
The National Weather Service advises drivers to be cautious. They recommend slowing down, using headlights, and keeping a safe distance. The week ahead is expected to have partly sunny to clear skies, with a slight chance of showers later on. Oklahoma residents should stay alert to changing conditions and plan their activities accordingly.
