Heavy fog descends over Regina, most of Saskatchewan
Dense fog is being reported across much of the province to begin the week of Christmas, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
As of 10 a.m. Monday, much of the province was covered by advisories, with exception of the southwest corner, including Maple Creek, Leader and Eastend, in addition to regions north of Prince Albert, Nipawin and Meadow Lake.
In the advisories, ECCC warned that although the fog is expected to thin throughout the day, there is also a chance that conditions will redevelop by the evening.

In addition to visibility issues, the fog will likely lead to slippery driving conditions.
"Winds will eventually shift to the west which should dissipate the fog," ECCC reported.
Saskatchewan’s Highway Hotline also listed visibility as "poor" for roadways in central and southern Saskatchewan.
