Fog Advisory and Visibility Limits Prompt Immediate Alerts The National Weather Service released a Dense Fog Advisory for central Ohio counties on Tuesday morning, warning that visibility would drop to a quarter‑mile or less and triggering a 10TV Weather Impact Alert Day for hazardous travel conditions [1].

Meteorological Conditions Produce Back‑to‑Back Fog Events Forecasters attribute Tuesday’s thinner fog to cold, moisture‑laden soil from recent snowmelt meeting an influx of warmer air, while overnight temperatures fell to the mid‑upper 30s, leaving roads wet and slick [1].

Travel and Community Resources Highlighted for Residents The alert urged commuters to exercise caution, and the station provided links to school‑closing notices, interactive radar, active alerts, and a 10‑day forecast to help the public navigate the reduced‑visibility conditions [1].

Warm Storm and Cooling Front Expected Later This Week Over the next several days a windy storm system is forecast to bring near‑record heat (up to 66 °F, matching 2017), scattered rain showers Wednesday‑Thursday, a possible thunderstorm Thursday, followed by a cold front on Friday and snow showers on Sunday [1].
