A fog advisory had been issued for the Grande Prairie area including the City of Grande Prairie, Beaverlodge, and Valleyview.
Environment Canada issued the advisory due to patches of dense fog in these areas. Due to reduced visibility and hazardous conditions, travellers are being advised to remain cautious on roads. Environment Canada says if you must travel, be prepared for areas of near-zero visibility, slow down, and watch for tail lights ahead.
Environment Canada originally had issued a fog advisory in the morning on Tuesday, January 2nd before ending it around 12 p.m. the same day. Due to dense fog re-developing early Tuesday afternoon, causing close to zero visibility at times, a new advisory has been issued. Conditions are expected to improve on Wednesday.
