Five years after COVID, Sarah Mills still pondering life's mysteries
Sarah Mills looks back at the COVID pandemic and some of the questions she asked herself to stave off boredom. Mills say...
Fog and freezing drizzle warnings continued for parts of Saskatchewan on Monday morning.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) warned that dense fog will create near-zero visibility conditions across central and southern Saskatchewan.
ECCC operational meteorologist Kyle Ziolkowski says there’s been an extended period of mild weather that caused a lot of near-surface moisture to build up.
“On top of that, (there have been) very light winds,” Ziolkowski said. “When (there’s) no wind, it doesn’t really flush out that moisture.”
He went on to say the air starts to saturate when temperatures fall overnight, resulting in widespread fog.
The fog advisory initially included both Saskatoon and Regina, but those were lifted Monday morning.
Ziolkowski expects there to be fog advisories for the next few days.
In addition to the fog, communities in southeastern Saskatchewan are at risk of freezing drizzle.
According to Ziolkowski, weather systems coming from around Montana are pulling warm air into Saskatchewan, causing snow to melt and rain to freeze on contact as a result.
“Temperatures between -5 and -10 are providing conditions favourable for freezing drizzle,” ECCC said.
Freezing drizzle were to continue early Monday morning, but road conditions and visibility are expected to gradually improve through the day.
The weather agency reminded drivers to check the Highway Hotline for the latest information on road conditions before heading out on the highways.
