Special Weather Statement issued February 3 at 1:25PM EST by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC

Effective: Tue February 3, 2026, 1:25 PM
Expires: Wed February 4, 2026, 9:00 AM

Thin sheets of ice, called black ice, may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy. Motorists are advised to use extra caution. Allow ample distance between yourself and other vehicles, to avoid the risk of a collision if slippery conditions are encountered. Allow a little extra time to reach your destination safely.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
