Foothills commuters face thick patches of fog on Tuesday morning

Commuters are dealing with thick fog across much of the Foothills on Tuesday morning (July 29).

Environment Canada has issued a Fog Advisory for parts of Foothills County near Priddis, warning that fog patches are reducing visibility to near zero in some areas.

The advisory was issued early Tuesday and is expected to remain in effect through the morning, with conditions improving by early afternoon.

Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance.

While the advisory specifically mentions the Priddis area, fog has been reported in other parts of the Foothills and south Calgary regions as well.
