Weather Alert in Florida
Special Weather Statement issued March 3 at 5:41PM EST by NWS Jacksonville FL
AREAS AFFECTED: Coastal Nassau; Coastal Duval; Coastal Flagler; Northeast Coastal St. Johns; Southeast Coastal St. Johns; Northern Inland St. Johns; Southern Inland St. Johns; Coastal Glynn; Coastal Camden
DESCRIPTION: Sea fog is developing as low stratus clouds settle to the ground from the coast and intracoastal waters towards I-95 with locations at Craig airfield, Fernandina Beach, and Mayport reporting visibility around 1 mile. The sea fog will occasionally reduce visibilities to under 1 mile through sunset and the early evening hours. Dense sea fog will likely expand inland during the early to mid evening hours, when Dense Fog Advisories will likely be re-issued for all of coastal southeast Georgia and coastal northeast Florida. Motorists should remain alert for sudden changes in visibility this afternoon, particularly along coastal roads such as A-1A in northeast Florida and U.S. Highway 17 in southeast Georgia. If you encounter sea fog while driving in these coastal locations this afternoon, slow down and leave extra distance ahead of you in case a sudden stop is needed.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are
smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not
impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle,
a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface.
Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can
potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.
