Happy Tuesday, Kern County. After several days with steady rain, the added moisture means favorable fog conditions. Areas of dense fog are likely for the next few mornings, so plan ahead and give yourself extra time to drive safely on your morning commute.
Bakersfield reported only one mile of visibility around 5 am Tuesday, and additional fog reports came in from the I-5 near the Grapevine. In addition to fog, icy roadways are possible in the mountains on Tuesday. To see the latest school delays and/or cancellations, visit the Kern County Superintendent of School's website here.
Tuesday's a cold day across Kern, with temperatures only in the 40s and 50s county-wide. Mountain and desert towns have the chance for additional showers into Tuesday afternoon, though no widespread rain is expected.
