For the Dense Fog Advisory, dense fog will reduce visibility to 1 NM or less. For the Small Craft Advisory, northwest winds 20 to 30 kt with gusts up to 35 kt and seas 5 to 8 ft expected.
WHERE
Nearshore Gulf waters from the Ochlockonee River to the Suwannee River out 20 nautical miles, Coastal Waters From Ochlockonee River to Apalachicola Fl out to 20 Nm, and Waters from Suwannee River to Apalachicola FL from 20 to 60 NM.
WHEN
For the Dense Fog Advisory, until 7 AM EST this morning. For the Small Craft Advisory, from 5 AM early this morning to 1 AM EST Tuesday.
IMPACTS
A Small Craft Advisory means that wind speeds of 20 to 33 knots, or seas of 7 feet or greater, are expected to produce hazardous conditions for small craft. These hazardous conditions may result in poor vessel handling and steering response, broaching, overturned dinghies and kayaks, slips and falls on slippery decks, rub damage along docks and seawalls, and dragging anchors. Low visibility will make navigation difficult.
Recommendations
Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions. If you must navigate, proceed with caution. Use proper fog signals. Make sure all running lights are on. Remember to use your radar and compass.
