...AREAS OF DENSE FREEZING FOG WILL AFFECT TRAVEL OVER PORTIONS OF
EASTERN ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING...

Dense freezing fog has formed across parts of eastern Illinois in
the last couple of hours. Visibility will fall below one-half mile
at times through early morning, leading to potentially hazardous
travel conditions.

Also, temperatures below freezing will lead to slick surfaces. This
will include untreated roads, bridges, overpasses, parking lots, and
sidewalks.

Expect rapid changes in visibility over short distances, with visibility
possibly even near zero at times.

Be sure to slow down if you encounter dense fog. Use low beam headlights if
driving, and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
