* This happened in France *, and is mildly terrifying. I don’t care how much I spent on a lift ticket, I’d call it a day after seeing this

I explain the set up that led up to California's deadliest avalanche near Donner Summit on Tuesday. #CAwx #Avalanche #DonnerSummit https://t.co/DTujXF3Qrt

Tuesday was another wet & windy day in the Valley, and those rain totals are starting to add up. More rain coming by Thursday. #CAwx #Winter #California #Fresno

I-80 is closed over Donner Summit tonight. Hwy 50 is closed over Echo Summit tonight. Hwy 89 is closed over Carson Pass tonight. Hwy 49 & 20 are closed outside of Grass Valley tonight. Brutal conditions in the Sierra Nevada. I-5 over the Grapevine is still open - for now. #CAwx

Strong thunderstorms are developing in Kings County! Expect locally heavy rain, small (pea to penny sized) hail, and strong/gusty winds with this storm. I'll continue tracking them on @KMPHFOX26 News at 10 tonight! #CAwx #thunderstorm #severe

Then, Saturday night-Sunday morning, Fresno-Yosemite reported 20 consecutive hours of 1/8 mile visibility. That hasn't happened since all the way back in January, 1962... 64 years! (2/2)

This is one of our worst outbreaks of fog in the San Joaquin Valley in decades! Friday morning, Fresno-Yosemite airport reported 1/16 mile of visibility for 10 hours straight. We haven't seen visibility that low at KFAT for that long in 15 years! (1/2) #CAwx #Fog #Fresno #TuleFog

Clovis Unified School District had their first Foggy Day Schedule in the past 23 years, first delaying bus services 2 hours... then an additional 2 hour delay was added! (4/4)

That's a LONG time to have visibility down that low, so I did some checking, and it turns out that's the longest stretch of visibility that low in the past 15 years at Fresno-Yosemite! (3/4)

Fog was THICK Friday morning in the Valley: Fresno-Yosemite Int'l Airport reported visibility down to 1/16 of a mile... for 10 hours straight! (2/x)

It's déjà vu all over again: Fog will be thick again tonight, and another Dense Fog Advisory is up for most of the San Joaquin Valley until Noon Saturday. #CAwx #Fog #TuleFog #Fresno (1/x)

So, when driving to work or school in the morning... flip your light switch from Auto to Low Beams. This isn't a problem at night, but during the day... you'll see (and be seen) much better. (4/4)

- Not really! When driving during the day in drizzle or fog, light sensors in many cars will only switch on the Daytime Running Lights... not the Low Beams. Daytime Running Lights aren't as bright, plus your taillights don't turn on. You're much less visible to other drivers! 3/4

Also: We've all heard 'Slow down & use your low beams' a thousand times when talking about driving in dense fog. But when your lights are set to 'Auto', are you actually using your low beams in the fog during the daytime? (2/x)

Fog will re-form in the San Joaquin Valley overnight, and it'll be a Foggy Friday for us. A Dense Fog Advisory is up until 11 a.m. (1/x) #Fog #TuleFog #California #Fresno #Headlights

@KMPHFOX26 Sports Director Ralph Wood shot better video of it than I did, so here’s his video shot from Fresno of the Dragon Capsule streaking back to Earth early Thursday morning.

Astronauts from the @Space_Station returned to Earth early Thursday morning, and splashed down in the Pacific just off of San Diego at 12:40 am. This is their re-entry as seen from Fresno. #SpaceX #California #Fresno (1/x)

@KMPHFOX26 @natwxdesk Better estimate of the timing of tonight's event, courtesy Dr. Marco Langbroek.

I shot the re-entry of the Axiom 4 mission aboard a Space X Dragon Capsule on July 15, 2025 from Fresno. Tonight’s re-entry should look similar… fog permitting, of course. @KMPHFOX26 @natwxdesk #reentry #iss #spacexdragon #California

Fog permitting, we'll be able to see this! In central California, look to the south west between 12:39 am - 12:41 am In NorCal, it'll be lower on the horizon, so you'll need no trees or buildings to your west. Look low in the sky to your west between 12:38 am - 12:41 am. (2/x)
