Des Moines, IA – A dense fog advisory is in effect across much of western, central, and southern Iowa until 11 a.m. CST Sunday, potentially making travel hazardous.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Des Moines, visibility has dropped below a quarter-mile in many areas. The advisory includes Des Moines, Ames, Ottumwa, Fort Dodge, and several surrounding communities. Drivers should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions as fog expands through the morning.

Officials warn that reduced visibility could make highways and local roads dangerous, particularly in low-lying areas and near bodies of water. Motorists are advised to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance from other vehicles.

The fog is expected to lift by late morning as temperatures rise, improving driving conditions. However, travelers should continue to check local updates and use caution until the advisory expires.
