Davenport, Iowa – Dense patchy fog is blanketing parts of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois this morning, reducing visibility to under a quarter mile in some locations and creating a potentially hazardous commute for early drivers.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, fog developed after 4 a.m. across areas including Davenport, Moline, Clinton, and Muscatine, and may persist through midmorning. Visibility at Moline’s Quad-City Airport dropped to just 7 miles as of 2:52 a.m., with 100% humidity and calm winds creating ideal conditions for fog formation.
A chance of scattered showers between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. could further complicate driving, especially on I-74 and I-80 corridors. Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra time if traveling early Wednesday. Calm winds and moisture from recent humidity are contributing to limited visibility, especially in rural and low-lying areas.
No widespread hazardous weather is expected through Tuesday, but more localized fog events remain possible in the mornings. Drivers should stay alert for rapidly changing conditions, particularly in the early hours.
