…Patchy Freezing Fog May Cause Hazardous Travel Tonight and Thursday Morning…

Much colder air will move into Middle Tennessee tonight. As the cold air joins with leftover moisture from recent rainfall, patchy freezing fog will form. These patches of freezing fog are most likely near lakes and rivers late tonight through about 9 AM CST Thursday.

The combination of fog with temperatures in the 20s could cause a thin layer of ice to develop on some surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses. The thin layer of ice is sometimes called black ice, and is difficult to see. Travelers are advised to slow down and be especially cautious late tonight and during the Thursday morning commute.
