Patchy fog has developed along and around US 30 this morning

next hour or two before the fog lifts. KCAK and KYNG could
briefly dip to at least MVFR too, but not confident enough to
put in those TAFs. Otherwise, mainly VFR is expected through the
TAF cycle as high pressure remains in control. MVFR cigs will
try to move into KERI late tonight associated with mid-level
clouds streaming westward from the East Coast storm, but this is
trending slower.

NE winds will increase to 5-15 knots late this morning through
the afternoon, with gusts of 20-25 knots at times in north
