This morning's for was the Sacramento area thickest fog day of the season. The heavy fog even prevented Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger from holding a morning press conference at the Capitol to announce new budget special sessions. The governor's morning commute flight from Santa Monica to Sacramento was canceled because of low visibility at Sacramento International Airport (SMF). The fog was bad in al local airports, visibility was about 220 yards at Sacramento Executive, Sacramento International and Mather airports.
Foggy conditions are expected to appear again Tuesday because of high pressure over the state, which traps moisture and pulls it down into the valley. Wednesday may be a different story with a weather system moving through the Pacific Northwest Tuesday night. Fog is typical in the region this time of year. The fog season runs from about December to early February.
