dense patches reducing visibility down to less than 1/4 mile. These
conditions are forecast to gradually improve over the next couple of
hours. As of 545 AM MT / 645 AM CT, the Goodland, Norton, and Oberlin
airports are reporting 1/4 mile, or less, visibility in dense fog.

Reduced visibility is a hazard while traveling. Turn on headlights
and add extra time into the commute this morning.
