Hey, Illinois! If you’re heading out tonight, take it slow—dense fog and light drizzle are making their way across the state. Visibility will be low, and roads could be slick, so here’s what you need to know:
Tonight’s Forecast:
- Chicago: Foggy skies and light drizzle will stick around, with temperatures hovering near 32°F (0°C). Some areas could see visibility drop to less than a quarter-mile.
- Springfield: Expect patchy fog and on-and-off drizzle through the evening. Lows will settle around 37°F (3°C).
- Peoria: Fog and light rain will linger, with temperatures around 35°F (1°C).
What to Watch For:
- Low visibility: Driving conditions could be tricky, especially on highways and rural roads.
- Slick spots: Bridges and overpasses could become slippery, so take it easy behind the wheel.
Safety Tips:
- Slow down: Fog reduces visibility and reaction time, so give yourself extra space between vehicles.
- Use low beams: High beams reflect off the fog and actually make it harder to see.
- Stay visible: If you’re out walking or biking, wear reflective clothing so drivers can spot you.
What’s Coming Next:
The fog should clear by tomorrow morning, but keep that umbrella handy—more rain is expected by midweek, which could mean some wet commutes ahead.
Stay safe, drive carefully, and enjoy your evening, Illinois! 🌫️🌧️
