"Across much of Central California, a cluster of stubborn clouds has lingered for more than two weeks, bringing periods of intense fog and unseasonably low temperatures - and officials say the stagnant weather pattern is likely to persist. The low stratus clouds - which appear to stretch from Bakersfield through Chico and west into the Bay Area - continue to create visibility concerns on roadways and could help foster a record-cool December,"
""On occasion, when we do get this weather regime across Central California, typically it lasts about a week," Molina said. So this year's pattern is "on the extreme side." Before and during this 16-day stretch, some areas in this region have seen thick, dangerously opaque tule fog form briefly, slashing visibility to virtually zero. Weather service officials confirmed that the area's signature fog developed on Nov. 20, 25 and 26,"
A cluster of low stratus clouds has persisted across much of Central California for more than two weeks, producing periods of intense fog and unseasonably low temperatures. The cloud deck stretches from Bakersfield through Chico and west into the Bay Area, creating visibility concerns on roadways. High temperatures have been only in the upper 40s across much of the region, roughly 10 degrees below average, risking a record-cool December if the pattern continues. The clouds and fog had lasted 16 days as of Tuesday. Thick, dangerously opaque tule fog developed on Nov. 20, 25 and 26 and briefly on Thanksgiving in parts of Kern County, slashing visibility to virtually zero. Forecasts indicate the stagnant pattern could persist through the week.
