Cruise Radio Rewind. My name is Doug Parker. A mixed bag of questions today. I have a couple of weather

related questions. So to tackle those is Action News meteorologist Greg D. He'll be taken two

questions there. Also, cruise line

stocks. Wow. Talk about losing some money over the past seven days. Cruise industry analyst

Stuart Sheeran from CruiseGai.com stops by to tackle cruise line stocks. Also going to talk about

the coronavirus hysteria that's made its way over to the Caribbean now. And whatever

happened to those two ships over in Asia, Diamond Princess and Westerdam, Stewart has details

on those. But first, we have Action News meteorologist Greg D. The first question comes from

Debbie. What's the reason behind all the high winds this winter in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic seaboard?

Thanks, Doug. That's a really good question. We've seen a lot of wind across the Gulf, the Atlantic, and even the Caribbean the last couple of weeks and really through the winter season. It really is tied to winter itself.

During this time of year, the storm track shifts farther south, so you get

frontal systems moving into places like South Florida, Cuba, or maybe even down towards the

Western Caribbean. That tends to bring a weather change and they could be accompanied by a lot of

strong winds. Now, this pattern usually continues through March, but by the end of March and the

beginning of April, the storm track does begin to drift north, so we see the winds return to more

common pleasant conditions as we head through spring. All right, Greg, we have one more for you. This is

from David and Phoenix. My ship was delayed into Galveston last week because of fog. The captain

touched on it briefly, and it being a certain type of fog.

Are there different types?

That question of fog has really been an interesting one this season.

Even here around the Tampa area, you've seen a lot of seafog offshore.
