Dense Fog Advisory Extended in Central North Carolina as NWS Cautions Motorists in Raleigh and Surrounding Counties

Early risers in central North Carolina today were met with an atmospheric cloak of dense fog, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) in Raleigh to extend a Dense Fog Advisory until 9 AM EST. Motorists found themselves navigating through a shrouded landscape, as visibility dropped to a quarter mile or less. The

NWS

advisory, which affects a significant portion of central North Carolina, including Davidson, Randolph, and Wake counties amongst others, cautions that “low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous.”

The NWS urges drivers to slow down, utilize low beam headlights, and maintain a generous following distance. In a move to actively prevent accidents, especially in zones of youth and education, there is an increased call to remain vigilant for school zones and school buses. As per the

NWS

forecast, the day is expected to eventually clear up, becoming sunny with a high near 81 degrees after the fog lifts.

Tonight’s forecast indicates mostly clear skies with the temperature dipping to around 51 degrees. The calm wind that contributed to the formation of this morning’s fog is expected to become a northern breeze flowing at 5 to 7 MPH after midnight. Moreover, as the weekend approaches, tomorrow promises sunny skies and cooler temperatures around 65 degrees, with a northeast wind of 7 to 10 MPH.

The NWS has reassured that beyond today’s fog advisory, hazardous weather is not expected in the upcoming days. For further weather details and updates, they suggest tuning into NOAA Weather Radio or visiting their website. Meanwhile, Sunday night bears a different story, with a 70% chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm post-1 AM, followed by a Veterans Day that may greet parade-goers and celebrants with a 50% chance of morning showers and a partly sunny afternoon.
