MESOSCALE DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 942 PM CST TUE FEB 04 2025
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING WILL
SUPPORT A CONTINUATION OF CALM TO LIGHT WINDS WITH A WEAK ONSHORE
COMPONENT NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST. 00Z LIX SOUNDING INDICATES A
FAIRLY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER ALONG WITH SOME HIGH LEVEL GULF
MOISTURE ADVECTING NORTHWESTWARD BETWEEN 10-12KM. THIS HAS
RESULTED IN A MIX OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN CIRRUS ALONG WITH PATCHES
OF LOW LEVEL CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA.
SURFACE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS CONTINUE TO NARROW WITH SEVERAL
LOCATIONS INDICATING A COMPLETELY SATURATED SURFACE OBSERVATION.
IN AREAS WHERE CIRRUS REMAINS THIN AND THERE ARE NO OVERCAST LOW
CLOUDS AROUND 1KM, CONDITIONS HAVE BECOME QUITE FAVORABLE FOR FOG
DEVELOPMENT AND LATEST OBSERVATIONS ARE COMING IN WITH SCATTERED
DENSE FOG WITH VISIBILITIES NOW DOWN TO BETWEEN 1/2SM AND 3SM.
DENSE FOG SHOULD CONTINUE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH MANY LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING 1/2SM TO 1/4SM
FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT. PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION IF DRIVING
OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE MORNING RUSH HOUR PERIOD. A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA, INCLUDING AREA
BAYS AND NEARSHORE COASTAL WATERS.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN MILD OVERNIGHT WITH MOST LOCATIONS
EXPERIENCING LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S. FOG SHOULD QUICKLY MIX OUT BY
MID MORNING WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WARM
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF WEDNESDAY.
