Weather Hazards
...DENSE FOG HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...
High pressure has settled over the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia, with light wind and clearing sky. Moisture left over from earlier rain has contributed to the development of fog in the North Carolina mountain valleys, some of which has become dense. People driving across the mountains and through the valleys should be on the lookout for sharply reduced visibility in locations near rivers and streams.
