I usually try to follow the convoy in bad weather until in breaks. But I have followed them for 4 days before, and then abandoned the chase when the weather stayed severe.

Not only are you in danger from escorts, or even merchants coming out of the fog, but it is impossible to gather target data under these conditions.
