Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 1211 PM PST Sat Jan 24 2026
KEY MESSAGES
1. Dense Fog in the valley is expected for the next several days.
2. Dense Fog Advisory Criteria expected tonight and into Sunday Morning as a new product will be issued later this Saturday.
DISCUSSION
While the strong high pressure existing over the Eastern Pacific will the atmosphere over Central stable and dry, satellite imagery is showing a Closed Low disturbance spinning just off the Southern California Coast. This disturbance is too far south to affect Central California with most if its energy focused on the Desert Southwest. Therefore, fog and low clouds will dominate Central California’s weather through the weekend and into early next week.
Energy from a weak short-wave is crossing Central California with possible effects from its passage. First, enough mixing may cause the fog to lift into low clouds with improved visibility values during the next 24 hours. That mixing may also dissipated the fog and allow sunshine (clear skies) to show this afternoon as fog is sure to re-develop overnight.
Current probability of visibility reaching below 1 mile remains at below 30 percent, except for an area from Lemoore to Visalia and down toward Corcoran where the probability is between 30 and 40 percent. Will opt in issuing a Dense Fog Advisory for more if a Patchy Dense Fog Scenario.
While precipitation is in the forecast for the Mid-week period, probability of reaching a tenth of an inch (0.10”) in a 12 hour period remains below 15 percent. Therefore, will opt for mean value precipitation accumulation and keep total amounts between a TRACE and a ten of an inch (0.10”) for Wednesday and Thursday.
