FIRST ALERT: Near-record temperatures will replace widespread fog early Friday!

This forecast points to a warm finish to the week with fog as the main hazard, transitioning to windier, cooler conditions over the weekend. Dense fog could disrupt Friday and Saturday morning commutes, while record-challenging highs hit mid-to-upper 70s inland before a cold front drops temps sharply by Sunday.

Travel and Safety Alerts

  • Dense Fog Advisories: Expect visibility under 1/4 mile overnight into Friday and possibly Saturday mornings. Inland counties likely affected—drive cautiously, use low beams, and allow extra time.
  • Weekend Winds: Gusts of 25-35 mph start Saturday evening, peaking after the front passes Saturday night. Secure outdoor items and watch for coastal impacts.
  • Light Rain: Low chances late Saturday into Sunday, but not heavy—mostly a nuisance ahead of the front.

Quick Tips for the Week
