Why are we seeing so much fog?

Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 12:00 AM

While fog is not uncommon across the Ozarks, fog lasting for days, is a bit rarer. Currently, the Ozarks is seeing the perfect set-up for ADVECTION FOG.

Advection Fog forms when warm, moist air moves over cold ground. The ground is cooling the air above to the point of saturation (cooler air holds less water). Advection fog can form under cloudy skies and with moderate to strong winds.

For the most part, the month of January has been frigid across the Ozarks, leaving the ground frozen. Since Sunday, moisture has been streaming into the area from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing in the warm moist air needed. We are left with pea soup fog.
