...DENSE FOG EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE CHARLESTON HARBOR THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...
SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE BRINGING UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST AIR OVER
THE COOLER OCEAN SHELF WATERS, CAUSING AREAS OF SEA FOG TO FORM.
PILOT BOAT OBSERVATIONS, WEBCAMS ALONG THE COAST, AND SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATE A LARGE SWATH OF FOG GENERALLY WITHIN 20 NM OF
THE COAST. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO EASE THIS EVENING, MAKING IT
EASIER FOR THE FOG TO MOVE INTO THE CHARLESTON HARBOR.
VISIBILITIES COULD DROP BELOW 1 NM THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. A
DENSE FOG ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MARINERS ARE URGED TO NAVIGATE WITH EXTREME CARE. IF YOU MUST
NAVIGATE IN THESE CONDITIONS, PROCEED WITH CAUTION. USE PROPER
FOG SIGNALS, INCLUDING FOG HORNS. MAKE SURE ALL NAVIGATIONAL
RUNNING LIGHTS ARE ON.
