…Areas of Fog with Patchy Dense Fog Early Today…

Strong southeast winds are warming temperatures over the snowpack across Iowa; creating fog over much of the area early today. Visibility is occasionally dropping to under a quarter mile and a few places a few hundred feet at times. The fog is thickest over western and southwest Iowa. Rain is currently moving up from Missouri and Kansas early today. As the rain moves across the area between 6 am and 9 am this morning, the fog should slowly lift and visibility improve somewhat during late morning hours.

Until then, area travelers should allow extra time to reach their destination safely; slow down and exercise caution while driving over Iowa this morning.
