Fogged Up: Chilly Forecast and Visibility Woes Hit Northern California

Northern California is dealing with some serious fog today, making for difficult commutes, especially around Sacramento. Meteorologist Ophelia Young has warned that visibility is down to a quarter-mile at some spots, and with temperatures barely scraping 50 degrees, it’s downright chilly. If you’re heading out, make sure to keep those low beam headlights on and increase your following distance.

The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory that lasts until late morning, urging drivers to take extra care on the slick, foggy roads. But don’t worry—there’s a silver lining! As the fog begins to lift later today, we might catch a couple of hours of sunshine before the fog rolls back in this weekend, turning cozy plans into cozy realities.

The weekend is set to be a chilly affair, with temperatures in the low to mid-50s. However, there’s hope for sunnier skies for those at elevations above 1,500 feet. So, if you’re up for a hike, head for the hills! After all, we could all use a little sunshine in our lives—even if it’s only a couple of hours on a chilly December day.
