The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the San Joaquin Valley, effective until noon today (Friday). Visibility in some areas has been significantly reduced, ranging from a quarter of a mile to as little as 200 feet.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution as the low visibility creates hazardous travel conditions. If you find yourself driving through the fog, remember to reduce your speed, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles.
For those planning to cross the Sierra Nevada:
- Highway 88 (Carson Pass) is open without restrictions.
- Highway 108 (Sonora Pass) remains closed at Snow Park.
- Highway 4 (Ebbetts Pass) is closed at Lake Alpine.
- Highway 120 (Tioga Pass) is closed for the season at Crane Flat.
This advisory serves as a reminder to stay alert and prioritize safety while traveling in these conditions.
