Environment Canada issued a fog advisory for the City of Red Deer, Alberta, on the morning of Friday, March 13, 2026. The alert warns residents of dangerous travel conditions caused by thick fog that has settled over the region.

Weather officials say that visibility may be suddenly reduced to near-zero in some locations. Because of these conditions, travel is expected to be hazardous, and drivers are encouraged to allow for extra time to reach their destinations.

If you are out on the roads, the agency recommends turning on your vehicle lights and slowing down. Drivers should also make sure to maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles to help stay safe in the low visibility.

The fog is expected to lift later on Friday morning. Conditions should improve as the day progresses, but drivers should remain cautious until the air is clear.
