—@gpsmendozaEnvironment Canada says it issues fog advisories when visibility is at or approaching zero.
The cause is a strong ridge of high pressure over the province, which can trap moisture and result in dense fog.
Environment Canada says the fog will likely dissipate in the afternoon, especially in areas away from the water.
