School buses in zones 1-6 are cancelled this morning due to the fog.
Buses in zones 7 and 8 are running as normal.
All buses will run as normal this afternoon.
Environment Canada has also issued a fog advisory for Chatham-Kent.
Forecasters say near zero visibility is expected or occurring, as widespread fog is persisting this morning.
Visibilities will be frequently reduced to less than 800 metres at times.
Fog is expected to lift later this morning.
“If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop,” Environment Canada officials stated.
Fog advisories are issued when near zero visibilities in fog are expected or occurring.
A special weather statement remains in place across Chatham-Kent as well, as appreciable rainfall is expected into Wednesday.
Periods of rain will continue today and tonight.
Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 mm are possible today and again Wednesday.
This is below Environment Canada’s criterion for rainfall warning of 25 mm in 24 hours when the ground is frozen.
Ponding of water on roads and possible marginal flooding may be expected in poorly drained areas.
A cold front will bring the rain to an end Wednesday. Rainfall from this multi-day event may total 25 to 40 mm.
