Active AlertsCrofton, BC

Near zero visibility in fog is expected.

What: Areas of fog reducing visibility to near zero.

Where: East Vancouver Island - Duncan to Nanaimo.

When: Now until early this afternoon.

Remarks: A ridge of high pressure has settled over southern Vancouver Island. Cool, humid marine air is trapped under a warm, stagnant airmass aloft. This has resulted in areas of dense fog for East Vancouver Island from Duncan to Nanaimo. Conditions are expected to improve early this afternoon when temperatures will start rising and mixing near the surface will help the fog to dissipate.
