What kinds of conditions trigger a Weather Impact Alert Day?
FOX43 meteorologists will call for a Weather Impact Alert Day if conditions are dangerous to people, create a nuisance, or affect a large number of people.
Dangerous thunderstorms, tornadoes, snow and ice, flooding rain, dangerous temperatures, and other storms will cause FOX43 meteorologists to call a day a Weather Impact Alert Day.
Weather Impact Alert Days will also cover nuisance weather like dense fog, heavy rain, and wind or when less-than-ideal weather conditions are expected for big events or during commuting hours.
