Patchy dense fog has begun to develop across parts of the North
Carolina mountains and foothills, primarily in mountain valleys
and other sheltered areas. Visibility as low as 1/4 mile is
possible. Visibility may drop suddenly and over short distances.
Issues are expected to continue the remainder of tonight,
improving quickly once the sun rises.

If driving this morning, exercise caution. Increase your
following distance, slow down in foggy areas, and turn on your
low-beam headlights.
