Dense Fog in Caruthers - San Joaquin - Selma, California

Several webcams showed visibility below 1000 feet.

High pressure moved into central California on January 17 which resulted in clearing skies and light winds over the area by the evening. With low level moisture present in the San Joaquin Valley due to recent rainfall, dense fog formed overnight and continued through the late morning hours of January 18 until it lifted into a low cloud deck. The fog was responsible for a 6 vehicle accident near Chowchilla which resulted in one fatality and several injuries.
