..PATCHES OF DENSE SEA FOG LIKELY
HAZY CONDITIONS HAVE PERSISTED ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS INTO
THE AFTERNOON WITH VISIBILITY REPORTED AROUND 2-4 NM. WITH THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT SLOWING DOWN AND MOISTURE INCREASING, THE
RISK OF DENSE SEA FOG TONIGHT IS ALSO INCREASING. VISIBILITY
SHOULD BEGIN TO DECLINE ACROSS THE BAYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS EARLY
IN THE EVENING AFTER SUNSET. MOST AREAS WILL INITIALLY EXPERIENCE
VISIBILITY AROUND 2-6 NM, BUT POCKETS OF DENSE SEA FOG TO 2 NM OR
LESS WILL ALSO START TO FORM IN A FEW SPOTS WERE WATER
TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER.
PATCHES OF DENSE SEA FOG ARE LIKELY TO GROW IN SIZE AND INTENSITY
AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES WITH FORECAST MODELS INDICATING LARGER
AREAS OF DENSE SEA FOG DEVELOPING BY AROUND ~3 AM ON FRIDAY. A
MARINE DENSE FOG ADVISORY WILL BE POSSIBLE. MARINERS SHOULD BE
PREPARED FOR REDUCED VISIBILITY.
