UPDATE: A dense fog advisory has been issued for the Bay Area this morning, with multiple regions experiencing patchy and heavy fog, particularly inland. The National Weather Service warns that visibility could be significantly reduced, creating hazardous driving conditions for commuters.
As of Wednesday, October 25, 2023, residents can expect daytime temperatures to reach the low to mid 60s°F along the coast. In contrast, areas further inland may see temperatures ranging from the low 40s°F to high 50s°F. This weather pattern is expected to create a stark contrast between the fog-blanketed areas and the mostly clear skies elsewhere in the region.
The fog is likely to linger during the morning hours, impacting visibility on major routes. Authorities are urging caution for motorists, advising to allow extra time for travel and to use headlights in low visibility conditions.
This weather phenomenon is not unusual for this time of year in the Bay Area, but the intensity of the fog may catch some off guard. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather alerts and to plan their day accordingly.
As the day progresses, the fog is expected to dissipate, giving way to clearer skies. However, the morning commute may see significant delays due to the adverse conditions.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing weather situation as the National Weather Service continues to monitor conditions across the Bay Area.
