Waiting for Visibility to Improve

Sitting on the ground in Memphis (KMEM) waiting for destination visibility to improve. Knoxville, TN Downtown Island (KDKX) is currently reporting 1 mi viz in mist. As it warms up and temp gets above the dewpoint, the mist should clear. This is a relatively short runway - approx 3,500 ft. IF I cannot get in, there is a larger airport - KTYS - very near.

Departed KMEM with visibility at KDKX increasing. Still a lot of haze when I got there. Tried a RNAV approach but had to go around. Decided to divert to nearby KTYS for an ILS approach.
