All the rain we had yesterday has made for a very foggy morning. Fog advisories were issued for areas northwest of the city including Grande Prairie, Beaverlodge, Valleyview, Hinton, Grande Cache, Peace River, Fairview, High Prairie, Manning, Whitecourt, Edson, Fox Creek and Swan Hills.

In these areas, dense fog is expected to reduce visibility to nearly zero. The fog is expected to last into the morning.

In Edmonton, the fog has already started to lighten up a little. It should make way for a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 19 degrees. I can already see that all that amazing moisture has helped my lawn and plants to look a little happier. If the sun pokes through today my yard might start looking great again.
