(KRON) — Dense fog is expected throughout most of the Bay Area Monday night and Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service said. Fog was cited as a factor in a fatal crash in Mountain View on Monday morning.
NWS issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the following regions:
- North and East Bay valleys
- North Bay coast
- Bay Area shoreline
- San Francisco
- Santa Clara valley
- San Francisco and San Pablo Bays
In the North Bay and San Francisco, the advisory begins at 7 p.m. Monday and goes through 11 a.m. Tuesday. Elsewhere, it goes from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.
The fog advisory is to warn of poor visibility caused by the fog. Visibility can be reduced to as little as 1/4 of a mile in some areas, NWS said.
“Travel carefully and prepare for sudden visibility changes,” NWS advised.
Monday’s fatal crash happened on the 500 block of Showers Drive in a parking lot covered in dense fog, officials said. A woman in her 60s was in the middle of the parking lot when an employee driving to work allegedly ran her over.

In addition to the fog, rain is likely for San Francisco and the North Bay this week.
