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 issued advisories for the Vernon, Similkameen and surrounding areas on Friday. These warnings were lifted around 9 a.m.
The fog that is expected to cover parts of Kelowna into the morning will then clear by the afternoon.
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 for drivers in the area on Friday morning. It asked people to slow down and be aware of tail lights ahead because of the conditions.
Okanagan road conditions can be monitored at DriveBC.
