I've seen first hand many times the difference just a couple of seconds can make during foggy mornings at the airport.
The banks of fog can really thicken up and then ease in a matter of seconds, and if the pilot reaches decision height and things look good at just the right moment then they'll continue. If they cop a dose of the bad stuff, then it's a different story.
However I'm only seeing what's happening on the ground next to the runway and not from the pilots seat. What you're seeing further away from the runways would be entirely different again.
