Sacramento residents should plan for extra time during their morning commutes this week due to dense fog in the Valley. According to the National Weather Service, visibility could drop to less than a mile, particularly between 3:00 AM and 9:00 AM. Drivers are advised to reduce speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. These conditions are expected to last through Wednesday.
Sacramentans will have foggy mornings with some frost in the next few days. The weather will clear up later in the week, with temperatures warming up. The National Weather Service expects "isolated patches of dense fog," especially south of Interstate 80, which could reduce visibility. After 18:00 Zulu (10 AM PST), conditions should improve. Light northerly winds will stay below 12 knots, but gusts up to 20 knots are possible east and northeast of the Sierra.
Northern California will have dry and pleasant weather through next Monday. Some weather models suggest a shift early next week, with "a positively tilted trough retrograding over the Four Corners," which could bring drier winds and gusts to the Sierra foothills, possibly clearing the fog. However, most forecasts expect the dry conditions and fog to continue. In Sacramento, expect foggy mornings followed by sunny afternoons. Motorists should be cautious in the morning. There are no warnings, but it’s a good idea to stay updated with the National Weather Service.
