coastal fog
Shore's gray blanket
Coastal fog is fog that forms along coastlines, typically when warm, moist air moves over cold ocean water.
Common in places like San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest, it often rolls in during summer months and can persist for days.
The coastal fog burned off by noon.
