Dense fog advisory issued for parts of northern Illinois this morning

Dense Fog Advisory:

For a third straight morning, parts of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin are waking up under a Dense Fog Advisory. This is for Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, and McHenry County in northern Illinois as well as Green, Rock, and Walworth County in southern Wisconsin. We'll see if the National Weather Service expands this further to include our western areas but for the time being, this advisory will run until 10AM this morning

As of 3:30AM, visibility has rapidly dropped to a half mile or less for most locales. Lowest values are up near the Monroe area with .3 mile visibility. 

 

 

  

Dense Fog Safety Tips: 

If traveling, slow down and increase your following distance from other vehicles to increase reaction time. Use low-beam headlights or fog lights - never high beams as that can reflect off the fog, further reducing visibility.
