Dense fog formed across much of central Iowa during the early morning hours of the 30th and continued through the mid to late morning hours. Visibilities were reduced to less than one quarter mile in the widespread dense fog. Many locations reported near zero visibilities.

The car left the road and hit a trailer that was parked in a parking lot.
