Is Wildfire Smoke Making Our Fog More Persistent?

Satellite picture for western Washington around 1 PM Saturday

 The National Weather Service's forecast for Saturday had a problem.  For central Puget Sound it was predicting clouds in the morning and then becoming mostly sunny (see below)

But instead fog held in ALL day, something shown by the Space Needle PanoCam at 3:10 PM Saturday.  You don't see conditions like that holding in all day very much.


And the UW high resolution forecasts of fog/log clouds for 5 PM Saturday started with fog in the morning and rapidly burned it back (see forecast at that time).
