Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
June 18, 2026 - 10:38pm
Expires:
June 19, 2026 - 4:45am
Description:
Locally dense fog will develop through the remainder of the
overnight through 8 AM EDT, then dissipate by 9 or 10 AM EDT. Fog
will be conditional on the degree of clearing behind a cold front
passage this morning, with areas clearing out faster likely seeing
more widespread fog and thus better chances for visibility to
drop below one-quarter mile at times. Areas that received abundant
rainfall Thursday are also more susceptible to locally dense fog.
Travelers should expect rapid changes in visibility through dawn
Friday. Slow down, increase following distance, and use low-beam
headlights to ensure you reach your intended destination safely.
