Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA weak upper level low pressure system brought some mid level clouds to the area during the morning of January 13 inhibiting fog formation in the valley that morning. However, skies cleared out during the early morning of January 14 which allowed for widespread dense fog to form in the San Joaquin Valley as light winds and inversion conditions prevailed. The fog resulted in several multi-vehicle accidents during the morning of January 14 and California Highway Patrol paced traffic on several highways as visibility was as low as 50 feet on some highways. In addition, several school districts in the San Joaquin Valley opened late and cancelled bus service for the day. The fog slowly dissipated during the early afternoon.
