Victoria’s Valley Fog and Arch Cloud Captured by NASA

NASA’s Earth Observatory highlights autumn fog in eastern Victoria as the Terra satellite’s MODIS instrument captures morning valley fog in the Victorian Alps and an arch-shaped cloud drifting over Port Phillip Bay. The piece explains radiation fog forms when air cools to the dew point in calm conditions, sinks into valleys, and lingers where terrain shades the ground; nearby breezes interacting with the bay’s terrain likely shaped the arch cloud, which moved south as the fog faded.

Fog-Choked Highway 99 Triggers 59-Vehicle Pileup in Central Valley

Dense fog caused a 59-vehicle pileup on a three-mile section of Highway 99 in Tulare County, about 40 miles north of Bakersfield, closing the road for more than five hours before reopening in the afternoon; several people sustained mild to moderate injuries and were taken to a local hospital, and authorities urged travelers to avoid dense fog and not rely on automatic headlights.

Dense Fog Triggers 59-Vehicle Pileup on Highway 99, Reopens Six Hours Later in Tulare County

A 59-vehicle pileup on Highway 99 near Avenue 24 in Tulare County prompted a full closure that lasted about six hours due to dense fog reducing visibility to roughly 100–200 feet. Ten people were injured (nine minor, one moderate forehead injury), with others transported to the Tulare Ag Center. CHP credited a rapid, coordinated response that cleared debris and reopened the highway; an earlier social-media estimate of up to 150 vehicles was corrected as the count stood at 59. Investigators say fog was a contributing factor, and drivers are urged to slow down as more fog is expected.
