Environment Canada issued a warning just after 4 pm today Tuesday, November 28, about fog rolling into the Sunshine Coast area, including the qathet region.
The warning stated that near zero visibility in fog is expected or occurring, for tonight and into Wednesday morning. Fog can cause zero visibility, meaning it may be hazardous for travel, and areas in fog that fall below freezing will have a risk of developing slippery surfaces.
The warning also stated that if visibility is reduced while driving, to turn on headlights and maintain a safe following distance in order to avoid an accident.
Environment Canada said that visibility is expected to improve near midday on Wednesday.
The warning was also issued for Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria, Southern Gulf Islands, East Vancouver Island, Malahat Highway, and Goldstream to Mill Bay on Vancouver Island.
