The dense fog has reduced visibility to near zero for the third day in Metro Vancouver.

Environment Canada said a fog advisory is in effect for the Greater Vancouver area, as well as the Fraser Valley, Sunshine Coast and eastern Vancouver Island.

The organization said the conditions for dense fog and low clouds will dissipate later on Thursday as a new frontal system displaces a ridge of high pressure.
