Good morning.
For those that need a heads up for planning purposes: it appears that the threat of some dense sea fog returns to the nearshore Gulf waters and bays Wednesday evening.
At this time, we have very low confidence as to the overall duration of the threat. It'll be dependent on if/when a weak frontal boundary moves off the coast. Some models push it off the coast Friday & some stall it inland and don't bring
it though at all. Hopefully we'll see some better consistency in the coming days.
