Fog advisory in effect for parts of eastern and central Alberta

Environment Canada has issued fog advisories for most of Alberta on Sunday morning.

The department asks travellers to be cautious as dense fog patches create conditions for very low visibility while driving.

This can occur suddenly with visibility being reduced to near zero.  

If visibility is reduced while driving, Environment Canada recommends slowing down, watching for tail lights ahead and being prepared to stop.

The fog is expected to improve for most regions by noon but may redevelop overnight.

The advisory is in effect for the following regions: 

• Bonnyville - St. Paul - Cold Lake - Lac La Biche
