Westman could be clouded in heavy fog in the coming days, which could impact vision and make roads treacherous, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is warning.
Southern Saskatchewan was covered in fog on Thursday and some of it “may creep into southwestern Manitoba,” ECCC meteorologist Dave Carlsen said. He said the fog in Saskatchewan created “very low” visibility.
“It’s the kind of fog that you’d want to be slowing down for, or — if at all possible — postponing your travel so that you don’t have to drive in it at all,” Carlsen said Thursday.
If people see fog, or frosting on trees, that’s a sign of slippery roads, he said.
Carlsen said Brandon was blanketed with five to eight centimetres of snow early New Year’s Day due to another Alberta clipper.
The light, fluffy snow created slippery conditions on some highways in the region.
Looking ahead, the region is expected to stay at around normal temperatures during the next week, Carlsen said.
“This is about as normal as it gets. Some years we’re way below normal, some years we’re way above normal, and this year, it seems we’re right on normal,” he said.
Carlsen said normal temperatures in the region for this time of year are highs of -12 C and lows of -22 C, with some variations.
The next week will also include “the occasional bouts of snow,” which Carlsen said would likely be between two and four centimetres.
