It might be hard to see out the windows on Thursday morning in parts of Saskatchewan.
Thick fog is blanketing a large area of southern and central Saskatchewan, prompting a fog advisory from Environment Canada. Regina and Saskatoon are both covered under the fog advisory, along with Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Estevan and Lloydminster.

Meteorologist Shannon Moodie said the fog has been coming and going over the past 48 hours.
“It’s just a very moist air mass that we’re seeing over Saskatchewan,” she said.

“It’s just allowing that moisture to pool in the boundary layer, leading to that fog. There’s really no strong winds to help scour it out. There are no systems coming to really help scour it out, so you’ve just seen that fog linger.”
She said the fog, which hindered flights at Saskatoon’s John G. Diefenbaker International Airport on Wednesday, is still causing visibility issues in many areas.
“It’s quite widespread,” Moodie explained. “We have webcams that we monitor, and stations at airports, and there’s just a lot of reduced visibility, near-zero visibility at times, throughout a large chunk of southern Saskatchewan.”
Moodie said the fog isn’t expected to stick around for too long on Thursday.
“The nice thing is, we will see some improvement through the day today,” she said.
“There is a chance that it could come back again tonight, but we’re not expecting it to be as widespread as it was last night and the night before.”
While it’s still foggy, Moodie said there are a few things drivers can do to keep safe, including slowing down. If the fog is too thick, she suggested pulling over for a bit rather than driving through areas of near-zero visibility.
“Be sure that your lights are on. Maintain a safe distance from any cars ahead,” she said. “Just be very cautious and don’t rush.”
