The episode as NWS CRP wrote it up.
Foggy conditions played a role in a two-vehicle crash on the morning of February 24 around 7:45 a.m. along U.S. Highway 59 near the intersection with F.M. 799. The accident involved a southbound truck tractor semi-trailer driven and a Ford Explorer. According to the Texas DPS, the Explorer attempted to turn onto the highway from F.M. 799 but failed to yield, striking the rear axle of the semi-trailer. The collision caused significant front-end damage to the Explorer and disabled both vehicles. Despite the severity of the damage, neither driver sustained major injuries. All injuries were treated at the scene by EMS.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 538 AM CST Thu Feb 27 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Friday) Issued at 202 AM CST Thu Feb 27 2025 Key Messages: - Areas of patchy to dense fog will linger through mid-to-late morning hours today. - Low chance (< 20%) for isolated rain showers today ahead of weak frontal passage. A weak cold front associated with a mid-level shortwave disturbance is approaching South Texas this morning and will gradually move through the region, making its way offshore by the afternoon hours. Ahead of the frontal passage, areas of fog have already developed along portions of the Coastal Bend, creating potentially hazardous impacts for this morning's commute. Please use caution while on the roads! The aforementioned front will primarily be a dry front with low confidence for precipitation expected ahead of it's passage. PWATS of 1.00 inch or less and weak mid-level vorticity indicate limited support for significant rainfall. Therefore, only slight chances (15-20%) of light showers have been included in the forecast, with any accumulations expected to be minimal (generally less than 0.01 inches). By this evening, cooler and drier air will filter in behind the boundary, allowing our daytime temperatures in the mid-70s to cool to the low to mid-50s overnight. A weak warm frontal boundary will left northward into the region on Friday, shifting winds back to a more easterly direction by end of day. Highs will once again reach the 70s area-wide under partly cloudy skies. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 202 AM CST Thu Feb 27 2025 Key Messages: - Warming trend and mostly dry through Tuesday. - Risk of sea fog this weekend into early next week in advance of an approaching cold front. - Cold front Tuesday night poses a threat of elevated fire weather conditions in wake on Wednesday. No significant changes from the previous forecast. A weak mid-level shortwave will move across just to our northeast Friday night into Saturday, leading to dry ridging in wake to dominate through Sunday. Although a closed mid-level traverses across the southern Great Plains Sunday night into Monday, the ridge will hold strong and continue the dry warming trend through Tuesday. A deep mid to upper level trough will push eastward across the central CONUS during the middle of next week, pushing a cold front through South Texas Tuesday night. Models are in good agreement with the timing of this front with dry north to northwesterly winds in wake on Wednesday. Minimum relative humidity is projected to dip down to 10-20% while there is a 20-40% chance of wind gusts over 20 mph Wednesday afternoon; therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are a concern. High temperatures will generally range from the mid 70s along the coast to the mid 80s out west with the exception on Tuesday where highs in the low 90s are expected over the Brush Country. Lows in the 50s Friday night will increase to the mid 60s Monday night. The increase in dewpoints this weekend into early next week with the return of onshore flow will pose a threat for sea fog. Shelf waters cooler than the dewpoints will warrant at least patchy fog mention to persist for the bays and nearshore waters ahead of next week's cold front. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 523 AM CST Thu Feb 27 2025 IFR to LIFR VSBYs due to fog will persist for ALI, CRP, and VCT through 15-16Z before the fog begins to erode. LRD and COT, while under VFR VSBYs, are sitting under MVFR CIGs as a weak cold front begins to propagate through South Texas. All sites have already seen a shift to northeasterly winds. Although on the lighter side now, winds will increase to around 10 knots this afternoon with gusts up to 20 knots possible. The aforementioned front will primarily be a dry front with low confidence for precipitation along the boundary. However, cannot rule out an isolated shower or two. With confidence in location and timing being on the lower side, did not include in the TAFs. && .MARINE... Issued at 202 AM CST Thu Feb 27 2025 Weak to moderate northeasterly flow will persist through late Friday before becoming more light and easterly by Friday night/Saturday morning as high pressure moves over the area. Weak to moderate onshore flow returns Sunday and persists through Monday before strengthening to 15 to 20 knots Monday night and Tuesday ahead of an approaching cold front. There is an increased risk of sea fog this weekend into early next week as moisture increases in advance of the cold front. Moderate northerly flow will likely follow in wake of the front Tuesday night and Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
