Friday, January 23rd, 2026

Good morning, Modesto. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 23rd of January.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

➤ Farmers in San Joaquin County benefit from persistent tule fog that cools fields and locks in soil moisture for walnut orchards, though extra moisture delays rice harvests. They expect a few rains in February and March to balance the benefits and help crops prosper later this year. CBS Sacramento

GOVERNMENT NEWS

➤ Several road projects will cause lane closures and delays in Modesto neighborhoods until next year. Commuters should use alternate routes from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on key corridors such as Scenic Drive & Orangeburg Avenue, with some work finishing by April. City of Modesto
