Greenville, SC – Dense fog blanketed portions of the North Carolina foothills and Piedmont Friday morning, creating visibility concerns for commuters and residents.
According to the US National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC, the fog is expected to persist through 8 a.m., particularly affecting areas from Hickory to Statesville and extending toward the Charlotte metro region. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time.
Rain and thunderstorms are also forecast throughout the day, with the highest chances occurring this afternoon and evening. Precipitation probabilities exceed 60% in many counties, including Burke, Caldwell, and Mecklenburg. While storms are expected to remain below severe limits, localized downpours and brief gusty winds are possible.
Temperatures will remain cooler than average for mid-April, keeping the overall storm threat minimal. Visibility could be reduced to less than a quarter-mile in low-lying areas during the advisory period.
The weather is expected to improve heading into Saturday as dry air moves into the region. Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates and avoid unnecessary travel during fog-heavy hours. Those with outdoor plans should stay alert for changing conditions throughout the day.
