NWS Special Weather Statement (Grayson County)

HIDE
Special Weather Statement issued February 17 at 7:28PM EST by NWS Blacksburg

...Areas of Fog and Temperatures Near Freezing... Through the overnight, low hanging clouds will result in areas of fog where the mountain ridges come in contact with the cloud base. Visibility for the higher elevations may drop to near zero at times. The primary impact will be to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Interstate 77 near Fancy Gap, in addition to highways that cross mountain ridges, such as Highway 39 across Warm Springs Mountain, and Route 311 across Peters Mountain. Temperatures will also be in the lower 30s which may promote some additional icing. However, temperatures are expected to rise overnight limiting any additional impacts from the icing that has already occurred. Most reports indicate the icing to be confined mainly on elevated surfaces with little impact to the roads.
