Foggy morning in Kelowna catches attention of Environment Canada
Fog is expected to linger into the late morning on Friday
Significant fog in the Central Okanagan on Friday morning (March 4) prompted Environment Canada to issue a public alert and advisory for the area shortly after 9 a.m.
A misty Kelowna morning caught the attention of meteorologists, who say “near-zero visibility” is expected to continue throughout the morning.
Environment Canada also issued advisories for the Vernon and Similkameen regions on Friday, but they were lifted at 9 a.m.
The fog in Kelowna will persist into the evening and then fade once afternoon arrives.
A fog advisory was also issued on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt at 4:50 a.m.
As of 10:00 a.m., a warning for reduced visibility is still in effect on the major highway.
Environment Canada issued several reminders to drivers in the region on Friday morning. They asked them to slow down and watch for tail lights ahead due to the conditions.
Okanagan road conditions can be monitored at DriveBC.
