A fog advisory remained in effect for much of rural Alberta Monday morning.
The Environment Canada advisory, issued Sunday afternoon, stretched from High Level in the north all the way to the U.S.-Canada border in the south, and included the regions surrounding Edmonton and Calgary, along with parts of east-central Alberta.
The advisory states:
“Under a moist airmass, areas of dense fog with patchy freezing drizzle are expected to re-develop over parts of Alberta and western Saskatchewan Sunday night. This fog will cause near-zero visibilities at times in much of central and south-central Alberta, including the cities of Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary, as well as the QEII between Edmonton and Calgary and the Yellowhead Highway. Patchy freezing drizzle may also make driving hazardous by causing slippery sections on the roadways.”
It was issued at 4:26 p.m. Sunday and advises “persons in or near this area should be on the lookout for adverse weather conditions and take necessary safety precautions.”
The city of Calgary was dropped from the advisory early Monday morning. Edmonton was briefly dropped as well, but at 6 a.m. the advisory for the Alberta capital was reinstated.
