SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN - For the second time on Friday, Environment Canada issued a fog advisory for southeast Saskatchewan.
The notice, issued just before 7 p.m. Friday night, included Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, Moosomin, Whitewood, Oxbow, Carnduff and surrounding areas. The advisory was later extended to the Regina area.
"A dense area of fog with near-zero visibility is developing over southeastern Saskatchewan this evening," the advisory stated. "This area of fog is forecast to spread throughout the evening and overnight, and the fog advisory will be expanded as required."
The fog and reduced visibilities were to persist through Saturday morning before gradually improving Saturday afternoon, Environment Canada said.
"Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop."
A fog advisory was issued for the southeast corner, including Carlyle, Oxbow, Carnduff and Moosomin, on Friday morning and early afternoon.
According to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure's Highway Hotline, some highways in the region report that winter conditions exist due to the fog, but visibility is good.
