Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment, 2) the alert name ‘extreme cold warning’ will change to ‘cold warning’, 3) two Public zone names will change in Saskatchewan, 4) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard continues, there will be changes coming to CAP and 5) other minor improvements and corrections.

Near zero visibility in fog continues. Where: - Inland Vancouver Island - near Port Alberni When: Now through Tuesday afternoon. Remark: A ridge of high pressure over B.C. is trapping moisture near the surface creating an area of dense fog in the vicinity of Port Alberni. 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. ### Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced at times. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/severeweather/weather-alerts/colour-coded-alerts.
If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance.
