HAZARDS

Canadian high-pressure building into the area this weekend may support frost and high elevation freeze conditions overnight into the early morning hours.

Abundant moisture across the region early this morning is permitting widespread fog to develop across the North Carolina mountains. Patchy dense fog may form in some locations, especially the river valleys, with visibility falling to one-quarter mile or less at times. The visibility should start to improve rapidly around daybreak as a cold front passes from the west.

If traveling this morning, be prepared for rapid changes in visibility due to the fog. Use low beam headlights and fog lamps when driving. Allow extra stopping distance and travel time.

Air Quality

Air quality is in the middle range of green today for all elevations.

Pollen

Pollen levels are expected to be low-medium (3.1 out of 12) with ragweed, chenopods, and grasses being the main culprits. Tomorrow is expected to be in the low-medium range (3.5 out of 12).
