Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceBroadcast Media
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeWarm, moist air moved over the cooler shelf waters of the Gulf of Mexico allowing for the formation of dense sea fog. The fog persisted for days over Tampa Bay and the nearshore waters of the Gulf. Impacts were significant as the Port of Tampa was shut down at times during this period. Some cruise ships were forced to remain in port leading to the cancellations of trips. The fog impacted visibility on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which spans the southern sections of Tampa Bay.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA 39 foot boat ran aground on the beach and crashed into a restaurant due to the fog and poor visibility on the Bay. Fog was likely not the only factor that led to the incident but was at least a contributing factor. The operator was cited for reckless operation.
