Fog remains possible again overnight into the morning hours for portions of the Panhandles. While most likely the fog will be in the 1-6 mile range, we could still see fog down to a quarter of a mile at times. The best chances for that would be the southern Panhandles. #phwx
NWS Amarillo graphic: Patchy fog Thursday morning may reduce visibility to 1/4 mile across the Panhandles, mainly 5–10 AM. Low visibility will cause hazardous travel during the morning commute; drive slowly and leave early.
