Visibilities are already less than 1/2 mile in Freeport this evening, and the NWS Quad Cities has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for northwestern Illinois until noon tomorrow. Green and Rock counties in Wisconsin are also under a Dense Fog Advisory until noon. We'll continue to watch for an advisory from the NWS Chicago for the rest of our counties, and let you know if they issue one. In the meantime, drive with your low-beam headlights tonight and tomorrow and watch for slick spots on bridges and overpasses.
