Fog warning in effect in GTA

A fog warning is in effect for the City of Toronto and Peel, Halton, Durham and York regions this afternoon, with “near zero visibility” expected in some areas throughout the evening.

The notice was put in place by Environment Canada shortly after 4:00pm on Tuesday.

“Areas of dense fog will linger into the evening,” it said.

“Visibility is expected to improve from west to east tonight. Fog may dissipate more slowly over areas of higher terrain.”

Travel across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is expected to be hazardous during the evening commute due to reduced visibility, according to the advisory.

“If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.”

There is also a chance of rain tonight, continuing overnight into the early morning.

On Wednesday, the rest of the day is expected to be cloudy with maximum afternoon temperatures of up to 6 degrees.
