Austin, TX – A dense fog advisory is in place for Central Texas, impacting visibility along the I-35 corridor through 9 a.m. Thursday. Drivers are urged to reduce speeds and use low-beam headlights to ensure safety on the roads.
According to the National Weather Service, visibility may drop to a quarter-mile or less in many areas, creating hazardous travel conditions during the morning commute. Patchy drizzle will add to the slick roadways, particularly in low-lying and rural areas. Travelers are advised to allow extra travel time and avoid using phones while driving.
The fog is expected to lift mid-morning as temperatures rise, with a high of 76°F forecasted for Thursday. However, showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely after 10 a.m., tapering off by the afternoon. This marks the beginning of an active weather pattern for the post-Christmas travel period.
Looking ahead, Friday will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 78°F, offering a brief respite before another front moves through Saturday. Temperatures will climb to 80°F on Saturday, followed by cooler nights dipping into the mid-40s. The weekend will close out with clear and sunny conditions on Sunday, with a high of 77°F.
Motorists and holiday travelers should monitor local weather updates and adjust plans as needed. Stay prepared for changing road conditions as Central Texas transitions from dense fog to potential storms later today.
