UPDATE TUESDAY AT 11 AM – The Fog Advisory for the area has been lifted.
ORIGINAL STORY – Parts of the Quinte Region are facing a pair of weather-related hazards this week.
A Fog Advisory (yellow) has been issued for the area including Brighton, Quinte West and Belleville.
Near zero visibility in fog is expected at times this morning (Tuesday) until conditions improve.
Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced at times. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance.
A winter storm heading for the area on Wednesday is expected to have a larger impact.
A Winter Storm Watch (yellow) is in effect for a widespread area that includes Belleville, Quinte West, PEC, Brighton and Napanee.
Snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm are expected to fall starting on Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening.
Several hours of freezing rain are also possible with ice build-up of 2 to 5 mm.
That will create icy and slippery conditions.
None of the above advisories are currently in effect for Centre and North Hastings or the Kingston area.
