Reduced Visibility Due to Fog

Low clouds and rain have resulted in areas of dense fog across the Blue Ridge this evening from Boone to Hillsville northeast toward Roanoke and Lexington. Visibilities in these areas, especially above 2000 feet, will drop to less than one mile and in many locations to a half mile or less. This will significantly impact the Blue Ridge Parkway from the North Carolina/Virginia line toward Bent Mountain and also Interstate 77 between Hillsville and the North Carolina line.

If you are planning travel through these areas this evening, use extreme caution. If you find yourself in areas of dense fog, reduce speed, allow extra distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, and use low beam headlights.
