GOES-R IFR Probabilities, computed from GOES-West (Upper Left), GOES-West Visible Imagery (0.62 µm) (Upper Right), GOES-R Cloud Thickness (Lower Left), GOES-West Brightness Temperature Difference (10.7 µm – 3.9 µm) (Lower Right)

Fog is persisting in California’s San Joaquin Valley today, and the GOES-R IFR Probability and Cloud Thickness products both are describing its spatial extent.  The lowest clouds are banked against the western side of the valley, with visibilities lowest, and IFR probabilities highest, from Bakersfield to Fresno to points north.  The Sacramento Valley (not shown) is not showing visibilities near IFR conditions, and the IFR probabilities in that part of California are lower.
