Hanford, CA – The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for portions of the San Joaquin Valley, warning of potentially hazardous driving conditions early Monday morning.
According to the US National Weather Service Hanford, the advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. PST, with fog expected to reduce visibility to as low as 800 feet in some areas. The agency reports a 40 to 60 percent chance of dense fog forming overnight, creating what it labels a “High Transportation Risk.”
The advisory covers much of Central California, including key stretches of Highway 99 and Interstate 5. Motorists traveling through Fresno, Hanford, Visalia, and Bakersfield are urged to exercise caution, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The NWS also advises drivers to slow down and anticipate delays, particularly in rural and low-lying areas where fog tends to form most heavily. Conditions are expected to improve by late morning as temperatures rise.
Residents and commuters should monitor local weather updates before heading out Monday morning.
