Special Weather Statement issued November 6 at 1:40AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Effective: Fri November 6, 2026, 1:40 AM
Expires: Fri November 6, 2026, 3:45 AM
Clearing sky and lingering low level moisture has provided an ideal environment for areas of fog to develop across parts of the Upstate and the southern foothills of North Carolina. In some locations, the visibility was limited to one-quarter mile by dense fog. If you are driving across the region early this morning, be on the lookout for sharply reduced visibility, especially near rivers and lakes. The fog may start to dissipate before sunrise as dry air moves in from the northwest.
