Thick Fog Downtown Regina, Saskatchewan at 4pm

With a major warm up this week, today steady at 8C and 93% humidity, thick fog has made highway driving very dangerous as frost accumulated on the roads and visibility is reduced. This is expected to change to heavy snow for some areas on Saturday as a big system crosses the Rocky Mountains. Snowfall warnings and advisories are now in place for much of southern BC. Saturday's latest forecast calls for temperatures to rise near 0C with light snow and gusty winds. This may be upgraded depending on the track of the storm. Stay Safe!
