...Areas of Fog Over the Region This Morning...

Fog continues to develop and thicken over the region early today with some areas already down to one quarter mile visibility to  near zero visibility at times across west central Iowa. Light  winds and abundant low level moisture along with clear skies are resulting in the fog over the area.

Persons traveling early this morning through the morning commute should be on the lookout for areas of fog…dense at times. Allow extra time to reach your destination safely. Be especially cautious near intersections and railroad crossings as vehicles and trains may be hidden from view by the thick fog. Be cautious near school bus stops as well.

The fog will lift by mid morning as much warmer air returns to the region this afternoon.
