Raleigh, NC – A dense fog advisory is in effect this morning for much of central North Carolina, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less. Motorists traveling along I-40 and other major roadways should exercise caution, use low beam headlights, and allow extra following distance to navigate hazardous conditions safely. The advisory will remain in place until 9 a.m. today, per the National Weather Service (NWS).
According to the NWS, patchy dense fog will clear as the morning progresses, revealing partly sunny skies with a high near 81 degrees, well above normal for early November. Winds will shift gradually to the north, and isolated showers may pass through the area as a cold front moves southward. Travelers and residents should remain alert to quickly changing weather, particularly in low-lying areas prone to fog buildup.
The weekend forecast looks brighter, with Saturday expected to bring sunny skies and cooler temperatures, reaching a high near 65 degrees. This cooldown will offer relief from today’s unseasonably warm temperatures and set the stage for a pleasant day across Raleigh and surrounding areas.
Looking ahead to Veterans Day on Monday, residents should prepare for another shift in weather. Cloud cover will increase, and there’s a 50% chance of showers by the afternoon. Temperatures will remain mild, reaching about 75 degrees, though rain could dampen some outdoor Veterans Day observances.
In the extended forecast, Raleigh can expect partly cloudy conditions on Monday night, with lows around 55. The NWS advises planning for potential showers but assures that hazardous weather is not expected beyond today’s fog advisory. Stay informed through local weather alerts for updates on conditions that may impact travel or outdoor activities.
