Special Weather Statement issued February 28 at 10:07PM EST by NWS Wilmington NC

Effective: Sat February 28, 2026, 10:07 PM
Expires: Sun March 1, 2026, 9:00 AM

Areas where low clouds persisted during Saturday afternoon will be the prime locations where areas of fog reducing visibility to 1 to 3 miles will develop. Within these areas, locally dense fog is likely that will further reduce visibility to near 0 at times resulting in hazardous driving conditions. The fog will persist into Sunday morning and should disperse by 9 or 10 am the latest.

Motorists encountering the fog should immediately SLOW down, make use of their low beam headlights and allow extra distance between you and the vehicle ahead in case of a sudden stop.

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.
