Hanford, CA – A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect through 10 a.m. Wednesday for portions of the Hanford and Visalia area, according to the National Weather Service in Hanford. The advisory includes stretches of California Highways 99, 198, 43, 180, and 41, where visibility may drop below a quarter mile at times.
The weather service warns that travel could be hazardous due to sudden visibility reductions, especially across the San Joaquin Valley. Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain safe distances between vehicles.
According to forecasters, visibility could dip as low as 200 feet in some locations, creating significant travel delays during the morning commute. The advisory is part of a “High Transportation Risk” alert, emphasizing the potential for fog-related accidents and reduced roadway safety.
Drivers are encouraged to check Caltrans QuickMap for real-time highway updates and allow extra travel time if driving through affected areas. Conditions are expected to improve gradually by late morning as fog lifts.
