Special Weather Statement issued February 6 at 11:00PM EST by NWS Wakefield VA
AREAS AFFECTED: Brunswick; Dinwiddie; Prince George; Greensville; Sussex; Southampton; Isle of Wight; Suffolk; Eastern Chesterfield (Including Col. Heights)
DESCRIPTION: 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.

Cirrocumulus clouds form at high altitudes (usually around 5 km)
and have distinguishing characteristics displayed in a fine layer of
small cloud patches. These small cloud patches are sometimes referred to as
"cloudlets" in relation to the whole cloud formation.
Cirrocumulus clouds are formed from ice crystals and water droplets. Often, the
water droplets in the cloud freeze into ice crystals and the cloud becomes a
cirrostratus cloud. Because of this common occurrence, cirrocumulus cloud
formations generally pass rapidly.
