Fog persists

Dense fog continues to disrupt operations at ports along the Upper Texas Coast. Houston, Galveston and Corpus Christi were closed last night (17 March), though Freeport is currently open. A Marine Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for the Upper Texas Coast out to 20 NM offshore between Freeport and High Island. Dense fog should redevelop and move back toward the coast. A Marine Dense Fog Advisory may also likely be necessary for Matagorda Bay and the adjoining coastal waters overnight. A surface ridge of high pressure over the Gulf waters will drift slowly east. A light onshore flow will persist from this afternoon through Friday. As warm moist air over rides cooler shelf waters, periods of sea fog are expected. The fog will be persistent and is likely to linger through Saturday. For information about operations in the USA contact GAC USA at [email protected]
