Thick fog continues to cover much of southern Manitoba, with advisories first issued last night remaining in effect as of 5 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.
Winnipeg is included in the advisory, and conditions are challenging for motorists outside the city, where visibility has been reduced to roughly two car lengths in many areas.
Environment Canada’s advisory, issued Wednesday night, lists areas affected across southern Manitoba, including Dugald, Beausejour, Grand Beach, Steinbach, St. Adolphe, and the Whiteshell region.
Near-zero visibility in these areas is expected until late Thursday morning when conditions are anticipated to improve.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution, turn on headlights, and maintain safe distances.
Once the fog lifts a cloudy sky is expected for Winnipeg with a high of 6 degrees. The normal daytime high for this time of year is -2.
