Chicago, IL – Thick fog is blanketing Illinois and Northwest Indiana, creating hazardous conditions for drivers and commuters through early Tuesday. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Dense Fog Advisory in effect until 2 p.m., with visibility reduced to less than a quarter mile in many areas.

According to the NWS, the advisory covers key regions including Chicago, Gary, IN, and surrounding areas. The thick fog is expected to persist, significantly impacting driving conditions on major roadways. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution, slow down, and keep headlights on low beam while maintaining extra distance between vehicles.

Driving conditions could remain dangerous throughout the advisory period as fog continues to impair visibility. Morning and evening commuters should plan for delays and avoid non-essential travel if possible.

In addition to driving hazards, foggy conditions along the Lake Michigan shoreline pose challenges for navigation. Boaters and mariners should remain vigilant, ensuring all lights and navigation tools are in working order.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed with frequent updates from local weather services and prepare for prolonged delays on roads and highways.
