A dense fog advisory for the central and southern San Joaquin
Valley remains in effect until noon PST today.

Widespread visibilities of less than a quarter of a mile... and in
some cases only a few hundred feet are being reported. If
traveling... you will need extra time to reach your destination.
Both the Highway 99 and I-5 corridors are being impacted.

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to less than one quarter mile. If driving... slow down...
put your headlights on low beam... and leave plenty of distance
between you and the vehicle ahead of you.
