Weather forecast as follows:

 

Foggy conditions will continue this morning as warm moist air  will continue to move over cooler Gulf near shore waters and the  bays. This will continue to produce sea fog this morning with  improving conditions by late morning but a return of sea fog is  expected tonight. A line of showers and thunderstorms should  accompany a Pacific cold front early Wednesday morning as it  moves across the coastal waters. Westerly winds in the wake of the  front will be short lived as weak high pressure drifts out over  the waters Wednesday night. Southerly flow Thursday will bring  back more fog by the afternoon hours and should linger until a  much stronger cold front arrives Friday afternoon or early  evening. Strong offshore winds Friday night should weaken  Saturday.
