Dense fog possible through Saturday morning

 

Dense fog has already begun to set in some spots through the early morning and is expected to continue for the next few hours. Overnight a weak front/boundary stalled out over the state line which has allowed locally higher dewpoints in some spots which has helped develop dense fog in some spots this morning.

As seen by our Sky Track camera in Beloit, Wisconsin the heaviest of the fog is currently in Southern Wisconsin with visibility a bit lower the farther east you go. Conditions may continue to worsen through the morning as with cooler temperatures through the morning we may be able to develop a bit more fog. If you are heading out this early morning, especially in Southern Wisconsin, make sure to give yourself extra time to travel along with extra space for cars on roadways.

For Northern Illinois, trends in fog will be closely monitored however visibility doesn't appear to be as difficult as areas further north. Through the morning though if the previously mentioned front begins to dive south some of the heavier fog may follow.

Dense Fog Advisories are in place for all Green, Rock, and Walworth counties this morning as visibility may drop to a quarter mile or less through the morning. Luckily though, this expires at 8 a.m. when conditions are expected to improve. As we go into the late morning sunny skies will appear over the fog allowing for warmer temperatures at the surface and will clear fog quickly.
