Dense fog will be found through the morning commute across portions of eastern Iowa. Visibility will be reduced to 1/4 mile or less at times. Brief improvement is possible with any showers and storms.

After a period of heavy rain and thunderstorms this morning mainly north of I-80, a dry afternoon is in store. Additional rounds of showers and storms are expected through the weekend as disturbances move through the area.
