Lots of low cloud… possible mist or fog later…


There are convincing indications that the low cloud over us now will possibly sink further to create patchy mist or fog at times, with occasional visibility reduction, lasting into Friday. The ridge just to our south, will keep a light southwest breeze for the rest of the week; slight seas increase moderate over the weekend as a front approaching from the northwest combines with tropical moisture advancing from the south.

Moderate seas rise to rough Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon.
