Fog advisories blanket central Saskatchewan

A blanket of fog over parts of Saskatchewan created poor visibility on highways Thursday morning.

“The combination of clear skies, light winds and melting snow created ideal conditions for fog development,” said a statement from Environment Canada.

“As a result, widespread reduced visibilities are being reported over a number of locations in the southern prairies this morning.”

The weather agency said the fog will dissipate this afternoon, but will likely return tonight and into Friday morning.
