  • ...PATCHY DENSE FOG ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT NORTH
    CAROLINA INTO THE EASTERN UPSTATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA EARLY THIS
    MORNING...
    A moist and stable air mass at the surface has resulted in the
    formation of low clouds and patchy dense fog early this morning.
    The fog was reducing the visibility to between a quarter to one
    mile across some areas. The patchy fog will linger through 9 AM
    then slowly lift and dissipate.
    Be on the lookout for sudden changes in visibility. Visibility
    can drop quickly over short distances, especially near rivers,
    lakes and other low-lying areas. Also, be especially cautious in
    and near school zones and bus stops. Watch for flashing yellow or
    red signals on school buses and be on the lookout for school
    children.
