Near zero visibility in fog is expected.

What: Areas of fog reducing visibility to near zero.

Where: East Vancouver Island, and Sunshine Coast

When: Now until Thursday morning.

Remarks: A ridge of high pressure has settled over Vancouver Island. Cool, humid marine air is trapped under a warm, stagnant airmass aloft. This will result in areas of dense fog for East Vancouver Island, and the Sunshine Coast tonight. Conditions are expected to improve Thursday morning when temperatures start rising and mixing near the surface helps the fog to dissipate.
