Fresno is starting Monday near 50 degrees under clear skies. Dense fog advisories cover nearby parts of the San Joaquin Valley, but not the Fresno-Clovis zone; drivers elsewhere in the valley may face a slow, headlights-on commute. Once the fog lifts, the day should turn mostly sunny with a high near 68.
Dense Fog Could Snarl The Morning Commute
The National Weather Service's Nov. 2 forecast lists dense fog advisories for nearby zones, but not Fresno-Clovis. The advisories run from 3 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday, with visibility potentially dropping to a quarter-mile or less in parts of the valley. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights, leave extra following distance and consider delaying travel if conditions are especially murky, according to the National Weather Service.
The fog threat follows a cooler, unsettled stretch that Hoodline previously tracked in its Sunday forecast. Monday brings no rain, and clouds may increase Monday night as temperatures dip to around 52 degrees.
Sunny Skies Return As Weekend Warms Up
Tuesday should be mostly sunny with a high near 69, followed by a slightly cooler Wednesday near 66. Thursday and Friday turn mild again, with highs around 68 and 70 degrees, respectively, while overnight lows stay close to 50.
The warmest stretch arrives this weekend. Saturday is forecast to reach about 73 degrees, and Sunday could climb to 75 under mostly sunny skies. Some nearby zones have 10% precipitation probabilities.
Wood Burning Discouraged Monday
For Monday, officials are discouraging fireplace and wood-stove burning in Fresno and several surrounding counties. The guidance adds another reason to keep the morning routine simple: watch for fog on the roads, then enjoy the sunshine once the valley clears.
