NORTHWEST CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN — Update: All advisories for Saskatchewan, except for a fog advisory for the city of Lloydminster, have been lifted.
Most recent story: Near zero visibility in fog is expected or occurring in Saskatchewan, although gradual improvement is expected throughout the day. Some advisories have been lifted.
Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. If travelling, be prepared for areas of near-zero visibility. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
Meanwhile freezing drizzle advisories are affecting several areas in the southeast. A rich layer of near surface moisture combined with a stationary frontal boundary and temperatures between -5 and -10 are providing conditions favourable for freezing drizzle, says Environment Canada. Conditions are expected to improve later today.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Freezing drizzle can produce thin, hard-to-detect layers of ice. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
