California’s San Joaquin Valley is waking up under a veil of mist, softening headlights and blurring rural roads around Hanford. Visibility has dipped at times early this morning, especially along Highway 198 and Route 41. If you’re commuting, slow down and use low beams until the haze lifts.
According to the National Weather Service, Hanford Municipal Airport reported mist with temperatures near 52 degrees earlier today. Humidity remains high near 87 percent. Skies turn mostly sunny by late morning, pushing highs to about 74 degrees with light winds becoming southeast near 5 mph.
The Midweek Weather pattern stays quiet and mild. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies with highs near 73. Thursday turns mostly cloudy but remains comfortable, with highs around 72 degrees. Winds stay light through the period, limiting fire weather concerns for now.
Nights cool into the low to mid-50s. While freezing conditions are not expected in Hanford, this is the time of year when brief moisture and clearing can create slick rural patches before sunrise. Drivers in outlying agricultural areas should stay alert for isolated damp spots.
By Friday and Saturday, temperatures climb back into the mid-70s with partly sunny skies. That steady warming hints at Spring Warmth building into early next week. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of Central California, reinforcing a gradual warm trend.
