The National Weather Service in Oklahoma City issued early morning updates, alerting drivers to dense fog affecting visibility on the roads. Travelers in central and east-central Oklahoma should expect visibility to drop to a quarter mile or less until 9 AM CDT, creating hazardous driving conditions. The fog is expected to lift by mid-morning, leading to clearer roads as the day goes on.

Travelers this morning in Cleveland, Lincoln, Logan, McClain, Oklahoma, Payne, Pottawatomie, Seminole, Noble, and Hughes counties should exercise extra caution. The National Weather Service's advisory is in effect until 9 AM CDT. Drivers are advised to slow down, use headlights, and keep a safe distance from the car in front.

After a foggy start, the Weather Service predicts a mostly cloudy morning with gradual clearing and a high near 80 degrees. Clear skies will continue tonight, with a low around 57 degrees. 

Looking ahead, the hazardous weather outlook doesn't include any severe weather warnings, with just a few thunderstorms possible in eastern Oklahoma from Friday into Saturday.
