Commuters in the Sacramento area should be prepared for limited visibility in the mornings due to areas of low elevation fog. The fog is expected to clear later in the morning, with clear skies for the rest of the day. "Given the more uniform near surface moisture through the Valley from roughly Chico southward, another morning of patchy to scattered fog development will be possible," according to the National Weather Service.
Fog is reducing visibility in the Sacramento area and northern San Joaquin Valley as of 1 am PDT. Drivers should allow extra time for their morning commute and check road conditions at quickmap.dot.ca.gov. Temperatures will stay in the 60s to low 70s in the valleys and foothills, and 50s to low 60s at higher elevations. "High temperatures are expected to remain firmly in the 60s to low 70s across the Delta, Valley, and foothills, as 50s to low 60s persist at higher elevations." Fire weather concerns are low, but afternoon humidity will be low in the foothills and mountains, as stated by the National Weather Service.
This weekend, a high-pressure ridge is expected to move eastward. "Moving into the weekend, ensemble guidance continues to indicate a lobe of amplified ridging translating eastward." Temperatures may drop slightly going into next week. In Sacramento, mornings will be foggy, causing reduced visibility, but conditions should improve by the afternoon with clearer skies. Stay updated on the weather for any changes, as reported by the National Weather Service.
