Chicago, IL — Motorists across northern Illinois should brace for reduced visibility during their morning commute, especially on major routes like I-55. A dense fog advisory is in effect until shortly after sunrise today, with patchy conditions lingering in interior regions, including Chicago’s suburbs and rural areas.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, drivers should anticipate sudden drops in visibility, making travel potentially hazardous. The fog is expected to gradually lift after sunrise but could still cause delays and accidents during the busiest morning hours. Officials advise reducing speeds and using headlights while driving in foggy conditions.
While the fog clears out by late morning, the region will experience dry, seasonable weather for the rest of the day, with temperatures reaching the mid-70s. Looking ahead, rain from Hurricane Helene’s remnants may arrive this weekend, particularly in areas southeast of I-55. Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts for further updates and plan accordingly for changing conditions.
