Dense fog advisory         

Areas of dense fog remain across portions of central Illinois

[8:51 a.m. Tuesday announcement]

[DEC. 12, 2006]  A weak warm front pushed into central Illinois overnight. The extent of dense fog has diminished with the passage of the front; however, areas of dense fog still exist, primarily across locations that have thicker snow cover remaining. Some breaks have developed in the cloud cover across west-central Illinois, and this may help the fog to thicken up once again through midday.

The National Weather Service in Lincoln has issued a dense fog advisory in effect until 1 p.m. Tuesday for the counties of Woodford, Tazewell, McLean, Mason and Logan, including the cities of Bloomington, Normal, Havana and Lincoln.

Areas of dense fog will continue to reduce visibility to one-quarter mile or less through midday. Visibility may change rapidly over short distances, especially in areas with more prominent terrain changes or thicker snow cover.

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be reduced to less than one-quarter mile. If driving, slow down. Use your headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.

The dense fog advisory until 1 p.m. Tuesday is also in effect for the counties of Knox, Stark, Peoria, Marshall, Fulton and Schuyler, including the cities of Galesburg and Peoria.
