Alright, Norman Several counties in southern and southeastern Oklahoma are under a Dense Fog Advisory, meaning that dangerous travel conditions are anticipated through Tuesday morning.
Beginning at 3 a.m. CST Tuesday, severe fog will spread throughout the area, lowering visibility to less than a quarter-mile in certain places, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Norman and Tulsa. Up to 10 a.m. CST, the advisory is still in force.
The counties that are impacted are Choctaw and Pushmataha under the NWS Tulsa advisory, and Atoka, Bryan, Coal, Johnston, Marshall, Carter, Love, and Murray under the NWS Norman advisory. Dangerous fog conditions are predicted for cities like Durant, Ardmore, Tishomingo, Hugo, and Antlers.
Drivers should use caution because visibility might change quickly, resulting in dangerous driving conditions. The NWS recommends that drivers use low-beam headlights, slow down, and keep a safe following distance.
This warning is issued as Oklahoma’s late-winter weather varies and fog forms as a result of high humidity and weak winds. Before leaving, travelers should check local traffic updates and factor in additional time for their commute.
