Dense Fog AdvisoryStatement as of 8:05 PM CST on February 23, 2004

…Dense Fog Advisory In Effect Until 9 Am Tuesday…

The combination of high humidities… light winds… and wet ground conditions will lead to dense fog development tonight. Visibilities have already lowered to around 1/4 mile along the Upper Texas coast and Galveston Bay. Fog is expected to become widespread across southeast Texas tonight. Visibilities will drop to below 1/4 mile at times creating hazardous travel conditions.

Motorists are urged to drive with extreme caution. Use low beam headlights and leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or other weather news sources for further updates.
