Fog advisory lifts for Vancouver area, but near-zero visibility could return

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Dec, 2024 02:50 PM
  • Fog advisory lifts for Vancouver area, but near-zero visibility could return

A fog advisory that covered much of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley has been lifted by Environment Canada. 

The thick blanket of fog that left near-zero visibility in some areas was created by a ridge of high pressure over parts of southern B.C.

Environment Canada cautions that the fog could return by Tuesday evening. 

Flights at Vancouver International Airport were minimally affected, with only one cancelled departure listed online by midday Tuesday. 

Environment Canada has issued advisories for other parts of the province, including a freezing rain warning for the south Peace River region, advising of slippery conditions through Wednesday. 

There’s a snowfall warning up for Watson lake through to Wednesday, with up to 40 centimeters expected, while up to 125 millimetres of rain is forecast for parts of the North Coast along with gusty winds.
