Foggy weather causing dangerous travel in parts of Manitoba

It’s a foggy start to the week for several Manitoba communities.

On Monday morning, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a yellow advisory – fog for a number of southern Manitoba communities, including Portage la Prairie and Steinbach.

The weather agency warns “extensive” fog will continue Monday morning for much of southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, though visibility is expected to slowly improve throughout the morning.

ECCC warns that the fog may cause poor visibility, which can make travel dangerous.

It advises drivers to prepare for near-zero visibility by turning on lights, slowing down and maintaining a safe following distance.
