Wider weather episode

As the low pressure system that was responsible for the light to moderate precipitation across the area on December 1 moved out of the area on the morning of December 2, high pressure built inland and brought clearing skies and decreased winds to the San Joaquin Valley. With residual moisture from the previous day's storm in place dense fog formed during the morning in portions of the central and south San Joaquin Valley. The fog lifted by late morning.
