Good morning. North Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. That gray ceiling overhead is about to lift in spectacular fashion. We're sitting at 44 degrees right now under overcast skies, but the clouds will burn off quickly this morning. By afternoon, we surge to around 75 degrees — that's nearly 42 degrees above normal for early March. In the next 24 hours. If you're driving early, take it slow. Dense fog has settled over parts of the Coastal Plain and southeastern counties. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile in spots until around 9 A.M. The Triangle starts the morning with patchy fog before 8 A.M., then turns mostly sunny with a high near 75 degrees. The Piedmont reaches about 74 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Head west to the mountains and you'll see a high near 75 degrees as well. The only difference? Western North Carolina cools off more tonight ...
