persistent fog



Fog has been persistent today in the Sacramento Valley. These two photos were taken from my back porch looking west. The top photo was taken earlier this year on a clear day. You can see the snow-capped Coast Range and the valley floor. The photo below was taken earlier today, with the persistent fog bank in the valley. The two photos are a comparison and to give one a perspective on how thick fog can get in the valley. Fog continues to linger currently, keeping temperatures in Chico stuck in the 40s. Fog will reform tonight (if it ever burns off today) and become dense overnight, so be careful if traveling during the early morning hours. The fog should be confined to the Southern Sacramento Valley by Monday, keeping it out of Chico. Temperatures under sunny skies will warm into the mid 60s by later this next week. Here are the details from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Areas of dense fog after 10pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. Calm wind becoming northeast around 5 mph.

Sunday: Areas of dense fog before 10am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 61. Light and variable wind.
