Fog is next weather challenge for Fresno, Valley. Advisory issued for early Sunday

After a deluge of rain within the past seven days, the central San Joaquin Valley is in for some pea-soup fog.

The National Weather Service office in Hanford called a dense fog advisory lasting from 1 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday for the swath of the Valley roughly tracing the Highway 99 corridor between Stockton and the Grapevine.

Visibility is predicted to be 800 feet to as low as 200 feet.

The weather service wasn’t done there with warnings.

It predicts that overnight temperatures will dip as low as 29 degrees in the Valley floor from roughly Delhi to past Delano, notably excepting the Fresno-Clovis metro area. NWS advises bringing pets indoors and covering sensitive, exposed vegetation the next three mornings, until 9 a.m. Tuesday.
