Statement as of 3:14 AM CDT on September 07, 2008 ... Dense fog advisory in effect until 9 am CDT this morning... The National Weather Service in Des Moines has issued a dense fog advisory... which is in effect until 9 am CDT this morning. Areas of dense fog will continue or develop over the area early this morning. There may be some variability in visibility... but a vast majority of the advisory area will experience dangerously low visibility until mid morning. A dense fog advisory means visibility will frequently be reduced to less than one quarter mile. If driving... slow down... use your headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
