THE MET Office has issued a yellow weather warning as freezing fog is set to hit the Vale during rush hour this evening (Monday).
It will come in to force from 5pm and stay in effect until 11am tomorrow (Tuesday).
Forecasters are warning motorists that the freezing fog will lead to more difficult driving conditions and longer journey times.
The Met Office’s Chief Forecaster said: “Areas of freezing fog will quickly re-form on Monday evening and night.
“The fog will form initially, and will probably be most widespread, across parts of the southwest of England, southeast Wales and the southwest Midlands.
“Fog will also form elsewhere but areas of cloud are leading to uncertainty in the timing and extent of the fog and will result in the fog waxing and waning through the night and during Tuesday morning. However it is likely that some dense fog patches will develop in other parts of the warning area by Tuesday morning.
“The fog is expected to slowly thin and lift during Tuesday although it may persist in some areas throughout the day.”
