...DENSE FOG ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR TONIGHT... .AREAS OF DENSE FOG DEVELOPED OVER PARTS OF THE MARINE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THIS MORNING. A PROLONGED LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW FROM THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO WILL BRING WARM MOIST AIR NEAR THE SURFACE INTO INSHORE WATERS WHICH ARE UNUSUALLY COLD. THE MOVEMENT OF THIS AIR OVER THE COLD WATER SURFACE WILL CAUSE THE AIR TEMPERATURE TO DROP AS THE AIR MOVES NORTH TOWARD LAND. EVENTUALLY THE AIR WILL REACH SATURATION LEADING TO THE FORMATION OF ADVECTION TYPE FOG. THESE LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS WOULD REMAIN THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT INTO LATE MORNING INLAND...AND POSSIBLY INTO THE AFTERNOON CLOSE TO THE COASTLINE. AREA INTERESTS ARE URGED TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON THE WEATHER IN THE EVENT AN ADVISORY IS ISSUED. MC
