Active AlertsQuilchena Golf & Country Club, BC

Near zero visibility in fog continues over some areas.

Where:
-Metro Vancouver - central including the City of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster
-Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta
-Metro Vancouver - southeast including White Rock, Surrey and Langley
-Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge

When:
Dissipating Thursday afternoon.

Remark:
A ridge of high pressure off the coast of BC, is trapping moisture near the surface creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, and especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay and the Fraser River.

By Thursday afternoon, the coastal ridge is forecast to weaken with approaching offshore weather systems, and in combination with outflow wind conditions, the persistent fog should dissipate.

Additionally, expect slippery and icy conditions in low-lying areas where the combination of fog patches and below freezing temperatures will allow black ice to form.
