If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and yell or wave for help.

Patchy dense fog has formed across eastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana this morning. Visibility may fall below one-quarter mile at times through early morning, leading to potentially hazardous travel conditions. Expect rapid changes in visibility over short distances. Be sure to slow down if you encounter dense fog. Use low beam headlights if driving, and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Fog is expected to erode by 8 AM CT / 9 AM ET this morning.
