A thick fog blanketed the area this morning, reducing the visibility to less than a fifth of a kilometer and raising safety risks in the southeast.
That fog began early and by 8 a.m., when people were making their daily commute, the fog posed a serious risk for drivers and pedestrians.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Brian Proctor talks about the system that brought in the fog.
"We saw the fog start to really materialize about 3 a.m. at the airport and the visibilities got quite reduced. We were down to about 2/10 of a kilometer for a few hours this morning, but they began to improve over the last little bit, we're back up at this point in time to somewhere about 1.6 kilometers and definitely improving."
"The fog was really about the conditions we had overnight to a large degree with fairly light winds and allowing that fog to form, but it should be pretty much gone by the time we get around to 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. this morning. I would watch out for a little bit of game tonight, possibly reforming game to the overnight period."
While heavier fogs usually get special weather statements proctor says that they didn't see anything which necessitates a statement.
"We looked at that late imagery this morning and it didn't appear to be that extensive, which is one of the reasons an advisory was not put out, but it was definitely having local impacts in the area of the town at this point in time. But again, this time of year, we often see these fogs, we start moving into September with those cooler overnight periods, we start to see fog forming."
Proctor says that those fogs can affect farmers during the fall as harvest is ongoing but he's confident they won't be too impactful.
"It does cause a bit of a hindrance for the agricultural community trying to get out there and do some work on their fields and do some harvest at this time of year, but in general conditions look fairly favorable moving forward for us to continue to see good condition from a harvest point of view."
With more warm days and cool nights in the forecast Proctor gives advice on how to deal with foggy days.
"It's really just being aware of the fact that fog can be out there. Adjust your driving habits as much as possible and ensure that your lights are on so other vehicles can see you while you're out there."
