Yellow fog advisory issued for Saskatchewan

A yellow fog advisory has been issued for central and southeastern Saskatchewan due to dense fog resulting in low visibility on the roads.

A yellow fog advisory has been issued for several regions of central and southeastern Saskatchewan as dense fog severely impacts visibility, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions. Environment Canada alerted residents early Saturday morning about low to near-zero visibility on the roads, prompting warnings for drivers to exercise caution. In Saskatoon, although the fog was less severe, it still affected the city's skyline, indicating widespread fog coverage across the region.

Weather specialist Noor Raโ€™fat elaborated on the conditions that create such fog, noting that warm air moving over a cold surface leads to condensation, forming fog that lingers close to the ground. The advisory serves as a reminder for residents and travelers in affected areas to alter their driving habits, as dense fog can create dangerous conditions on the road.

Travel safety tips include planning routes in advance, reducing speed, and refraining from using high beams, which can create glare in fog. The National Weather Service advises drivers to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and to use hazard lights when visibility becomes extremely poor. These precautions are critical for ensuring road safety amidst the fog advisory in Saskatchewan.
