The National Weather Service office in the Quad Cities has issued a special weather statement for fog tonight for Stephenson county, along with Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside. Although no such statement has been issued for Rockford thus far, there are areas of dense fog across much of the Stateline area. Cooler, drier air upon strong westerly winds will mix-out this fog after midnight or so. In the meantime, travel with caution out there!

AS OF 7 PM THE VISIBILITIES AT THE DUBUQUE AND MONTICELLO AIRPORTS WERE AROUND ONE QUARTER OF A MILE AND SAVANNAH ILLINOIS WAS REPORTING VISIBILITIES OF A HALF MILE. GUSTY WEST WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA WILL CAUSE THE FOG TO DISSIPATE. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST BY 10 PM.
