Missouri Weather Alert_ Dense Fog and Chilly Temperatures Kick Off February With Hazardous Driving C

Hey, Missouri! February is off to a foggy, chilly start, and if you’re hitting the road this morning, you’ll want to drive with caution. Dense fog is rolling through much of the state, and visibility is reduced in several areas. Here’s what to expect:

Dense Fog Advisory:

  • When: Until 9 AM CST this morning
  • Where: Parts of east-central Kansas and central, north-central, and west-central Missouri
  • Visibility: Less than a quarter-mile in some spots, so take it slow and stay alert

Today’s Forecast:

  • Kansas City: Foggy to start, but skies will clear as the day goes on. Temperatures are around 29°F (-2°C) this morning, with highs reaching 46°F (8°C). Expect mostly cloudy skies with some morning drizzle.
  • St. Louis: Clear but chilly this morning, with temps around 33°F (0°C). Highs will climb to 53°F (12°C) under mostly cloudy skies, and a few showers could pop up late in the afternoon.

What You Need to Know:

  • Driving tips: Slow down, use your low-beam headlights, and leave extra space between cars. With visibility reduced, driving could be dangerous, especially on highways or rural roads.
  • Plan extra time: If you have morning errands or work commutes, give yourself a little buffer. Fog can make travel slower.
  • Stay tuned: Keep an eye on local weather reports in case anything changes, especially if you’re traveling between cities.

The fog will lift by mid-morning, and by this afternoon, things will clear up in most areas. Stay safe out there, Missouri, and have a great start to your February! 🌫️
