TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – A 13 First Alert Weather Day has been issued for the morning of Friday, Oct. 23, as dense fog spreads across the region.

Dense Fog Alert and the 13 First Alert Weather Day
The alert is part of the 13 First Alert Weather Day process, a local warning framework used when weather conditions are expected to create safety concerns. Dense fog can quickly become more than a visibility issue, affecting travel, school operations and morning routines.
The First Alert Weather team said the fog should develop later in the morning, after 5 a.m., and could persist for hours, with some areas possibly seeing dense conditions lasting between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Fog Timing and Visibility Risks Across the Region
Dense fog can cause issues on the roads because drivers may have trouble seeing traffic ahead, intersections or pedestrians. The First Alert Weather coverage noted that reduced visibility is a key concern.
The forecast called for dense fog, and the weather team said the expected conditions could affect travel through the morning.
School Delays and Closings Possible Friday Morning
School delays and closings are possible Friday morning. The First Alert Weather team said school district administrators in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan submit any changes to 13 Action News.

The apps offer forecast details, interactive radar and traffic maps. The News App and Weather App are available for iOS and Android.
The First Alert Weather alert matters because dense fog can affect morning commutes, school schedules and road safety. While the fog is expected to form after 5 a.m. and could last until 10 a.m. or 11 a.m., the warning asks drivers and families to remain alert.
