Drivers are being warned of near zero visibility on the roads this morning as the GTA and much of southern Ontario sit under a fog advisory
“Persistent fog with visibility near zero is forming in some areas and will continue through the early morning hours,” Environment Canada warned in its advisory early Thursday
The fog is expected to last for several hours, but then dissipate rapidly through the middle of the morning. However, people are being advised that “travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations” until it does
The advisory is in effect for the Greater Toronto Area and a wide swath of southern Ontario, roughly from the London area in the west over to Kingston in the east
Toronto Pearson International Airport warned that the foggy weather is causing some delays for arriving passengers
“To maintain safe operations, the flow of arrivals has been reduced by NAV Canada as a result of fog affecting the region,” the airport said in a tweet. “The airport continues to operate, but inbound flights may be delayed”
Pearson is advising passengers to check their flight time and status with their airline before leaving for the airport
