Fog advisory lifts for Vancouver area, but near-zero visibility could return
Weather warning ends after high-pressure system brought dense fog to Metro Vancouver
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 Tuesday evening.
Flights at Vancouver International Airport were minimally affected, with only one cancelled departure listed online by midday Tuesday.
Environment Canada says the onset of winter weather continues in other parts of B.C., with the southern Peace region, including Fort St. John, facing a flash freeze where temperatures are forecast to drop rapidly and create icy conditions.
There's a snowfall warning up for Watson Lake through to Wednesday, with up to 40 centimetres expected, while up to 125 millimetres of rain is forecast for parts of the North Coast along with gusty winds.
