Fog Advisory Extended Through Late Morning
Drivers are asked to turn their headlights on and slow down.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — The National Weather Service has extended a dense fog advisory from the far East Bay into the San Francisco Bay north of the Bay Bridge and the East Bay valleys through the late morning today. According to NWS Meterologist Scott Rowe, the regional office in Monterey extended the Bay Area's advisory to the Concord and Livermore areas and the Bay waters overnight after originally only issuing the warning for the east Contra Costa County areas east of Pittsburg.
Rowe said the dense fog is a result of moisture from recent rains, along with nighttime cooling and slight or nonexistent winds. These conditions are ripe in both the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys, where widespread dense fog is expected, Rowe said. Meteorologists said areas of dense fog might reduce visibility a 1/4-mile. Motorists are advised to slow down, keep their headlights on and take extra time in getting to their destination.
Dense Fog Advisory has been expanded overnight to include the waters of the San Francisco Bay north of the Bay Bridge through 11 am PST. Be sure to SLOW DOWN if you encounter fog this morning and ensure that your headlights are turned on! #CAwx pic.twitter.com/laspe8D1hz
