Hanford, CA – Dense fog continues to blanket much of Central California, creating hazardous driving conditions and reduced visibility across major roadways. Drivers in affected areas, including I-5 and Highways 99 and 198, should prepare for visibility as low as 100 feet through this morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Hanford, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday. This advisory impacts parts of the San Joaquin Valley, with visibility dropping below a quarter-mile in many areas. Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance to avoid accidents.
Fog-related hazards are expected to ease by late morning as temperatures rise. The forecast for Wednesday shows decreasing clouds, with a high near 60°F and calm winds. However, nighttime temperatures will drop to around 40°F, leading to potential fog redevelopment early Thursday morning.
Looking ahead, Thursday brings a 50% chance of showers mainly before noon, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 56°F. Friday and Saturday will remain partly sunny, with highs in the mid-to-upper 50s and a slight chance of showers by the weekend.
