...LIMITED VISIBILITY IN FOG AND HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THIS EVENING...
THE COMBINATION OF AREAS OF FOG, VERY LOW CLOUDS, AND DEVELOPING
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS GREATLY LIMITING VISIBILITY ALONG
THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS AND THE
ADJACENT FOOTHILLS THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS ARE PARTICULARLY
DIFFICULT, WITH VISIBILITY OF ONE-QUARTER MILE OR LESS AT TIMES,
ALONG THE SALUDA GRADE AND GREEN RIVER GORGE AREAS OF HENDERSON
AND POLK COUNTIES.
BE PREPARED FOR DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITIONS THIS EVENING IN THE
HEAVY RAIN AND FOG. ALLOW EXTRA TRAVEL TIME AND STOPPING DISTANCE
AND USE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LAMPS IF YOU ENCOUNTER FOG.
