Patchy fog has formed across parts of north-central and northwest Illinois, as well as eastern Iowa, and in some areas it may become locally dense, reducing visibility to less than half a mile. Drivers should slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and be ready for sudden changes in visibility.

The fog is expected to lift by mid to late morning, so conditions should improve as the day progresses.
