Areas of fog, some dense will be found early this AM across far southeast Iowa, northeast Missouri and west central Illinois. The fog will be especially common in river valleys and other low lying areas, and in locations that received rainfall yesterday. The fog could bring sudden and significant reductions in visibility, so please stay alert on the roads and slow down when driving in fog.
After some early morning fog south, we'll see dry and nice weather take hold today as high pressure builds in. This will be short-lived though, as a series of cold fronts will bring a return of shower and storm chances late tonight through Friday evening. A few storms could be strong Friday afternoon with gusty winds the main concern. This all clears out just in time for the weekend, which looks to be beautiful!
