Fresno, CA – A dense fog advisory is in place across the San Joaquin Valley until noon Friday, complicating travel for Black Friday shoppers. Visibility is expected to drop to as low as 200 feet, creating hazardous conditions for drivers.

The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service, affects major cities including Fresno, Bakersfield, and Visalia. Roads throughout the region, including Interstate 5 and Highway 99, are expected to experience delays due to reduced visibility.

Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra time for travel. The combination of heavy fog and increased traffic for post-Thanksgiving sales presents significant risks.

Local officials recommend avoiding unnecessary travel during the advisory period, especially in areas prone to dense fog. As conditions improve by midday, visibility should return, allowing for safer driving.
