The fog is expected to dissipate by late morning, but travelers should remain cautious until then.

Similarly, in Illinois, a Dense Fog Advisory was issued, with localized patchy fog lingering in spots, reducing visibility to a mile. While the advisory is set to expire at 9 AM CDT, drivers are urged to remain cautious and alert for any visibility challenges on the roads.

Moving to the southeastern United States, Florida is facing a Flood Warning for the St. Johns River near Astor, affecting Volusia and Lake Counties. Northerly winds are maintaining water levels near Moderate Flood Stage, with the river forecasted to remain at Moderate flood stage into the following week. The impacts of the flooding include water approaching homes, flooding in parking lots, and inundation of lower-lying areas along the river.

In South Dakota, the James River near Stratford and Columbia is experiencing minor flooding, with significant amounts of agricultural lands and streets being affected. The river is forecasted to remain nearly steady at the current flood stage, emphasizing the need for residents to stay informed and prepared for potential impacts.
