Visibility below a quarter mile was reported in Bakersfield.

Wider weather episode

Rainfall from the previous two days provided for enough low level moisture for areas of dense fog to form in the San Joaquin valley during the evening of December 21 when skies cleared out and winds diminished. The fog lifted into a low cloud deck overnight as a low pressure system approached the southern California coast and provided for some mixing.
