Heavy Fog Greets Bay Area Commuters, Air Travelers
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) - Fog was the word of the day as Bay Area commuters returned to work Monday after the holiday weekend.
The fog made its way to the Bay Area by way of the Central Valley, forcing drivers to slow and use extra caution, especially on all major Bay Area bridges. A Dense Fog Advisory was in effect until 9 a.m. Monday.
