Conditions are largely quiet to kick off our Friday. The area sits beneath clear skies while temperatures have fallen into the 40s; still hanging out in the 50s in the city. A bank of dense fog crept into northern Lake Co last evening and has been very gradually expanding south and west. As of 2:30 AM, dense fog coverage remains confined to northeastern portions of the county and up near then WI state line. Accordingly, we made the decision to issue a Dense Fog Advisory for Lake County, IL through 9 AM. It's possible by daybreak that pockets of dense fog expand into portions of McHenry and northern Cook counties. Elsewhere, several sites around the CWA are reporting 3 to 5 mile visibilities as dewpoint depressions continue to drop. Outside of the aforementioned areas, such visibilities will remain possible around the CWA through dawn with the primary dense fog concerns in our northeast, but can't rule out some pockets of denser fog farther west and south. Any fog should burn off by mid-morning at the latest.

Surface high pressure and low level ridge axis will slide to our east today bringing light southerly winds and mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will again be very comfortable for late October with highs forecast in the lower and middle 70s; maybe stuck in the upper 60s near the lakeshore. Similar temperatures are expected through the weekend with a good mix of clouds and sunshine. The prominent surface high will continue to keep the rain away as it scoots east across the Great Lakes.

A cold front will work into the upper Midwest and provide some upstream rain chances over the weekend. However, the front appears to lose a lot of its luster before moving across the area late Sunday into Monday and the better layer moisture is progged to get locked up to our north, so ultimately not expecting rain in our local area early next week. This front even looks to lift back north across our area again as a warm front in the Tuesday to Wednesday window, but again with no rain in the forecast. Next appreciable opportunity for rain may be with the trailing cold front Thursday into Friday, but of course, much uncertainty with this. In the meantime, expect warmer-than-normal conditions to continue with 60s and lower 70s favored next week.

VFR conditions are currently forecast through the period. Patchy shallow fog can't be ruled out in low-lying and grassy areas outside of Chicago early Saturday morning, though the potential remains too low to include in the TAFs with this update.

Winds will remain light through tonight initially out of the SSE then turning E to ESE behind a weak lake breeze this afternoon (ENE at GYY). Occasional patches of VFR high clouds may drift through this evening and overnight with greater coverage expected Saturday morning. Winds also begin to turn SSE to S by mid-morning Saturday and increase to around 10 kt.
