A dense fog advisory is in place until noon Friday, and more rain and snow is expected in Kern County through the weekend.
Visibility will be a quarter of a mile or less, according to the National Weather Service. Some places will have visibilities of less than 500 feet.
The fog comes after a Thursday of wet conditions. El Tejon Unified School District was closed Thursday because of wet, slushy conditions in the Lebec area.
Total rainfall for Bakersfield from Wednesday evening into Thursday morning was .25 of an inch, said National Weather Service Meteorologist Gary Sanger.
Come Friday night, rain might return. There will another weak storm system over the deserts and mountains, Sanger said. There is a 20 percent chance of rain, according to the weather service. The high is forecast at 54 degrees and the low at 38.
On Saturday night into Sunday a stronger system is expected to dump more rain on the region. Sunday brings a 20 percent chance of rain, according to the weather service. The high is forecast to be 57 and the low 41.
For the mountains, snow is expected to continue Friday. In Tehachapi and Frazier Park, there's a 40 percent chance of snow. The Grapevine is also likely to see snow. Gorman has a 60 percent chance of snow for all of Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
Kern County Superintendent of Schools Director of Transportation Sheryl Boe said each district's superintendent makes the call about whether to close for the day or open a couple of hours later if there's inclement weather. Each district has its own policy in place regarding what time decisions are made, but the general recommendation is to have it made by 6:30 a.m.
"It's kind of a guessing game," Boe said.
