CHICAGO (CBS) — A dense fog advisory is in effect for most of the Chicago area through Monday morning, as poor visibility continues across most of the suburbs.
The National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory through 9 a.m. Monday for McHenry, DuPage, Will, DeKalb, Kane, LaSalle, Kendall, Lee, Ogle, Booone, Winnebago counties, as well as northern Cook County.
Visibility could be as low as 1/4 mile or less in some areas, making for dangerous driving conditions. Drivers should use low-beam headlights when traveling in foggy conditions.
Scattered rain showers are possible late Sunday night with drizzle and fog lingering into Monday morning.
A cold front will cross the Chicago area around 1 p.m. Monday, shifting winds to become westerly. This wind flow will usher in a colder, drier air mass, with falling temperatures throughout the afternoon.
