Hanford, CA – A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect from 11 p.m. Saturday until noon Sunday across California’s San Joaquin Valley, according to the National Weather Service in Hanford. Officials report a high transportation risk as visibility could drop to near zero in several areas overnight.
Drivers are urged to slow down, manually switch on headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles. The weather service warns that the thick fog may cause travel delays and dangerous road conditions, particularly during early morning hours.
According to meteorologists, dense fog is expected to redevelop each night and morning through the weekend and possibly into early next week. Major routes including Highway 99, Interstate 5, and surrounding county roads could experience the worst impacts.
Motorists are also advised to avoid using high beams in foggy areas, as they can reflect light and further reduce visibility. Officials recommend delaying travel if possible until the fog begins to lift later Sunday afternoon.
