Yet you don't see fog when a sound wave is propagating through the atmosphere under the same conditions. Hence something must be different.
Layman speaking here. Probably because the pressure drop is not sufficient. You will see the "fog" from an explosive detonation if the humidity is sufficient, as the shock wave travels outwards.
