KAMLOOPS — Drivers are being warned of near zero visibility on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt Thursday (Jan. 26) morning.

In an online advisory, Environment Canada says the dense fog will continue over the stretch of Highway 5 Thursday morning and travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some spots.

However, the weather agency says conditions may gradually improve Thursday afternoon.

Environment Canada reminds drivers that weather in the mountains can change suddenly.
