UPDATE
ISSUED AT 619 AM CST SAT FEB 28 2026
LATEST NIGHT FOG SATELLITE PRODUCT AND MARINE OBSERVATION
PLATFORMS ARE SHOWING AREAS OF DENSE FOG OCCURRING ACROSS THE
WESTERN HALF OF MOBILE BAY INTO THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE
MISSISSIPPI SOUND. THIS FOG IS THE RESULT OF LIGHT NORTH WINDS
THIS MORNING OVER COASTAL ALABAMA ADVECTING THE RADIATIONAL FOG
SOUTH OVER THESE MARINE AREAS. THIS DENSE FOG WILL DISSIPATE
THROUGH THE MID-MORNING HOURS, AND A MARINE DENSE FOG ADVISORY
WILL REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10AM. /22
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1016 PM CST FRI FEB 27 2026
THE MAIN FORECASTING HEADACHE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL
BE PATCHY TO AREAS OF DENSE FOG THAT DEVELOP EACH NIGHT, LINGERING
INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES, AND AMPLE
SURFACE COOLING WILL ALLOW FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA
AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THIS FOG WILL LIKELY REDUCE VISIBILITY
AT TIMES BELOW A QUARTER OF A MILE, NECESSITATING A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. DENSE FOG WILL BE MOST LIKELY
BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 7AM WHEN THE ADVISORY GOES INTO EFFECT. FOG
WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
WITH A SIMILAR OVERALL SETUP, SO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF
ANOTHER NIGHT OF DENSE FOG OCCURS AGAIN FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OTHERWISE THROUGHOUT THE
WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOMALOUSLY WARM WEATHER WILL BE HERE TO
STAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AS HIGHS STAY IN THE MIDDLE TO
UPPER 70'S THIS WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 80'S
FOR NEXT WEEK. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 40'S TO LOWER 50'S THIS
WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING BACK TO MIDDLE 50'S TO LOWER 60'S MID TO
LATE NEXT WEEK. A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MONDAY, BECOMING A HIGH RISK FOR STRONG RIP CURRENTS ONCE
AGAIN TUESDAY AND AT LEAST A MODERATE RISK CONTINUING INTO
WEDNESDAY. MM/25
