A number of areas in east-central Alberta were put under a fog advisory Wednesday afternoon because Environment Canada said “a large area of fog is expected to develop over east central Alberta overnight.”

According to the weather agency, the fog could make for dangerous driving conditions as a result of reduced visibility. However, conditions are expected to improve sometime Thursday morning.
