Much of East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and portions of southwest North Carolina have been experiencing foggy conditions as rain and snowmelt have contributed to fog formation tonight. Fog is likely to continue overnight, with the potential for dense fog at times overnight. Conditions should improve around daybreak for much of the valley, although fog or very low stratus may linger over areas that received heavy snowfall over the weekend. Drivers should practice safe fog safety while commuting, with larger following distances and the use of low beam headlights. Be cautious of sudden drops in visibility.

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.
