Hanford, CA – Drivers in California’s San Joaquin Valley face hazardous conditions today as dense fog continues to impact visibility. A National Weather Service (NWS) advisory warns of reduced visibility to a quarter mile or less in many areas, including Highways 99 and 198.
According to the NWS, the dense fog advisory remains in effect until noon Sunday, affecting counties from Merced to Kern. Commuters are urged to drive cautiously, use headlights, and maintain safe following distances to avoid accidents. The fog has already led to slowed traffic and increased risks on major roadways.
