I love today’s cover--is that a Yeti?
Because we need a Yeti to keep us warm or cool depending on your preference! These are the days, and nights, when our a/c units don’t know whether to turn on or stay off! Overnight temperatures stay too warm to get the thermostats to turn on and, on the other hand, we can get a little chilly overnight! No winning!
The culprit? The Gulf of Mexico is warming up and so is our land! Relatively cooler air, around 66-68° from the southeast moves right over that basin of warm water, running 72°. That combination of cooler and warmer creates the sea fog and any water around here will do the same thing--even a warmer ground. Of course, the air just needs to be a little cooler and well-saturated, and that’s exactly what it is.
We can experience fog almost anytime and we’re easily seeing it from 20-40 days each year.
We’ll be on “sasquatch” and fog watch all week long--until a front at the end of the week turns our winds to the north, our morning drive will look like this morning’s:
Plan for extra time, slow it down, use low beams. Serious accidents can happen on these foggy mornings and nights!
