Monthly Dense Fog Advisories
Posted: 14 Aug 2019 05:34 AM
It is that time of year when early morning Dense Fog starts becoming a concern. The favorable
conditions include elevated near surface humidity, an ever lengthening night to allow for more
cooling, and calm winds. Such conditions allowed for dense fog to form yesterday morning
prompting the NWS to issue a Dense Fog Advisory. The featured chart presents the number of such
advisories issued by the NWS each year by month. The accounting here is a single issuance event
by a single NWS Office. It is interesting to see the number of times that there were none during July
and then a whole bunch during August.
