VICTOR VALLEY — A rare, dense fog covered the High Desert on Tuesday and Wednesday morning thanks to Monday rain that “saturated” the soil, Apple Valley-based National Weather Service weather spotter Darren Marlow said.
Marlow said the dense fog was definitely “rare” and that in his more than 20 years he has seen similar fog only “a handful of times.”
“It’s definitely dense, all the moisture from the ground, from the rain, it just settles in,” Marlow said. “Visibility was down a lot, especially over the (Mojave riverbed). It just creeps up on you.”
He said the dense fog requires the “right ingredients,” which he said were saturated soils and a light wind that would allow the moisture to evaporate from the soil and condense into fog.
