fog
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:
Dissipating Thursday afternoon.
Remark:
A ridge of high pressure off the coast of BC, is trapping moisture near the surface creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, and especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay and the Fraser River.
By Thursday afternoon, the coastal ridge is forecast to weaken with approaching offshore weather systems, and in combination with outflow wind conditions, the persistent fog should dissipate.
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.

Now through Wednesday afternoon.
Remark:
A ridge of high pressure over B.C. is trapping moisture near the surface creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, and especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay and the Fraser River. 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.

flood
Abnormal high tides combined with low pressure may produce minor/moderate coastal flooding.
Elevated water levels accompanied by strong winds and waves are expected, exceeding highest astronomical tides.
What:
Risk of coastal flooding due to storm surge coinciding with high tides.
When:
This weekend, with the highest risk of coastal flooding on Sunday.
Additional information:
The South Coast is entering a period of high astronomical tides as Earth reaches perihelion (Earth's closest point to the Sun). Also, a low pressure system will cross the region this weekend. This falling atmospheric pressure will help further elevate coastal water levels beyond predicted tides, thus increasing the risk of coastal flooding.
The exact track and timing of the low pressure centre remain uncertain at the moment. Wind strength will be contingent on the position of the low.
Moderate winds and storm surge can lead to washed up debris and erosion along coastal areas. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is likely along exposed shorelines, especially in the low-lying areas. There is a risk of locally significant flooding especially where onshore winds compound on the highest tides. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to flooding and/or debris, such as driftwood and rocks.

fog
Near zero visibility in fog is expected.
What: Widespread fog reducing visibility to near zero.
Where: Metro Vancouver.
When: Now until this morning.
Remarks: A ridge of high pressure has settled over the Lower Mainland with cool and humid marine air trapped under a warm, stagnant airmass aloft. The fog will become more widespread overnight as temperatures drop. Conditions are expected to improve this morning when temperatures start rising and mixing near the surface helping the fog dissipate.
