Service Notice – November 2025: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2025, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into Colour-Coded Weather Alerts is tentatively set for deployment November 26, 2025. 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. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – novembre 2025: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2025, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes sous forme d'alertes météorologiques codées par couleur est provisoirement prévue pour un déploiement le 26 novembre 2025. Des changements aux données apparaîtront dans le PAC suite à ce déploiement, 2) le nom de l’alerte ‘avertissement de froid extrême’ changera pour ‘avertissement de froid’, 3) deux noms de zones publiques seront modifiés en Saskatchewan, 4) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique se poursuit. Des changements seront également apportés au PAC et 5) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Near zero visibility in fog continues. Where: - Inland Vancouver Island - near Port Alberni, East Vancouver Island (near the coast), and Sunshine Coast - Saltery Bay to Powell River (near the coast). When: Now through early Friday. Remark: A ridge of high pressure off the coast of BC is trapping moisture near the surface, creating areas of dense fog. The coastal ridge weakened today with the approaching weather system, and as such, fog dissipated somewhat in the afternoon, improving visibilities. With the setting sun and cooling temperatures, expect dense fog to redevelop near the water. Outflow winds are expected to develop late overnight and through Friday and will act to dissipate the fog. Additionally, expect slippery and icy conditions in low-lying areas where the combination of fog patches and below freezing temperatures will allow black ice to form. ### 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.

Near zero visibility in fog continues over some areas. Where: -Metro Vancouver - central including the City of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster -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 early Friday. Remark: A ridge of high pressure off the coast of BC is trapping moisture near the surface and creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay, and the Fraser River. The fog in many locations managed to clear during the afternoon hours, however, after sunset and as conditions cool this evening, the dense fog is expected to develop once again, especially over western sections of Metro Vancouver and near the water. Outflow winds are expected to pick up later overnight and into Friday. These outflow winds will act to dissipate the dense fog. Additionally, expect slippery and icy conditions in low-lying areas where the combination of fog patches and below freezing temperatures will allow black ice to form. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

Be prepared for areas of near-zero visibility and allow extra time to reach your destination. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance.
