With the fog coming at the same time as the morning rush hour, authorities are asking drivers to be extra-safe. Some safe fog driving tips, from the National Weather Service, are: driving with low beams, reducing speed, listening for traffic you cannot see, and being patient and not passing lines of traffic.
As of 7 a.m., some areas – like Stockton – have visibilities down to less than a fourth of a mile.
