California’s Central Valley is waking up under a blanket of mist, and the air feels sharp at 37 degrees in Hanford this morning. Visibility has dipped at times across rural stretches, and fields sit damp under a pale sunrise. Drivers along Highway 198 and Highway 43 should stay alert for patchy reduced visibility early.
According to the National Weather Service in the San Joaquin Valley, skies will gradually turn sunny today with highs climbing to around 65 degrees. Winds remain calm, helping fog and mist linger in spots before late morning clearing.
Temperatures fall back to near 39 degrees tonight under mostly clear skies. That sets up another freeze risk for exposed pipes and tender vegetation. While widespread frost is not guaranteed, cold pockets in outlying areas could dip a few degrees lower. Take steps now to protect sensitive plants.
Monday stays mostly sunny with highs near 65 degrees again. A warming trend builds into Tuesday, February 24th, when temperatures reach around 68 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. By Wednesday, highs push near 71 degrees with partly sunny conditions. Slight rain chances appear Tuesday night, but no winter weather or icy mix is expected.
The broader 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across interior California. That means steady spring warmth through late week into next weekend.

Monday: Mostly sunny, high 65.
