yellow advisory - fog - in effect
Near zero visibility in fog continues over some areas.
Where:

-Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta
-Metro Vancouver - southeast including White Rock, Surrey and Langley
-Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge
When:
Now through Tuesday afternoon
Remark:
A ridge of high pressure over B.C. is trapping moisture near the surface creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, and especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay and the Fraser River. While visibility may improve in the afternoons, fog is expected to redevelop each night.
The ridge is forecast to weaken and incoming weather systems will flush out the fog by mid week.
