Special Weather Statement
Issued: 4:00 AM Feb. 7, 2026 – National Weather Service
...PATCHY DENSE FOG AND BLACK ICE TONIGHT...

Areas of fog have formed this evening across portions of central
and southeastern Virginia. Locally dense fog is possible.
Additionally, with temperatures below freezing, patchy freezing
fog is also possible for elevated surfaces such as bridges and
overpasses. Fog should gradually dissipate overnight as winds
increase behind a cold front. Given temperatures below freezing
tonight into Monday and wet, slushy, or snow- covered roads from
the snow today, black ice is possible tonight into Saturday,
especially on untreated, secondary, and back roads.

Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing
roads that have not been treated. Avoid using high beams as they
can reduce your visibility in fog.
