Dense fog is blanketing portions of the San Joaquin Valley, prompting a Dense Fog Advisory in effect until noon for Kings, Fresno, and Tulare counties. After yesterday’s blustery conditions, today promises calmer weather, with a slight chance of snow in Northern California and limited rainfall in parts of the Valley. A warming trend is expected to start Wednesday, leading to above-average temperatures through the weekend. The forecast indicates persistent fog at night and highs reaching 65°F or higher by Friday. Looking ahead to next weekend, rain and snow chances are on the rise, particularly in Northern California, as a new weather system approaches.
