Parts of the valley are expected to see visibility drop to less than 1/4 of a mile.
Authorities would like to remind drivers to slow down while driving in fog and leave extra space between you and other cars. Drivers should never turn on their high-beam lights in fog.
Dense fog advisory has been issued for the Sacramento Valley until 10AM. This was one of the worst days for me driving in from Vacaville -- difficult to see the exit in front of you. Drive safe! @CBSSacramento @GoodDaySac pic.twitter.com/fiEcQ5aqbW
