Inversions are interesting beasties. They are normally very stable and can cause fog to lie in a valley for several days. A bad case was the London smogs of the 1950s which caused many fatalities.
The hot upper layer can contain a lot of moisture and the arrival of some turbulence to cause mixing will make life rather interesting rather quickly.
