The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert for fog in Flintshire. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The weather warning came into force at 7pm this evening, Tuesday 17th December and is in play until 1pm on Wednesday afternoon.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Forecasters say fog will quickly form overnight and may be slow to clear during tomorrow. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

As a result commuters may experience “slower journey times“ with delays on transport routes, the Met Office states.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A Met Office spokesperson said:  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The fog that has started to form in the south of the warning area will become more widespread during Tuesday evening and night. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Fog is likely to be dense in places with visibility less than 100 metres, which may lead to some travel disruption and slower journey times. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Fog will clear in the south and west of the area during Wednesday morning, but may persist until early afternoon in the north and east.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
