Kansas City, Missouri – Drivers across eastern and northern Missouri, including the Kansas City metro, should expect dangerously low visibility through 9 a.m. Monday as dense fog blankets the region. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less, prompting a dense fog advisory for the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, hot and humid conditions will dominate midweek, with heat index values reaching up to 105°F on Wednesday across cities including St. Joseph, Kirksville, and Chillicothe. The oppressive heat will be followed by a round of potentially severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon into the evening, bringing the threat of damaging winds and locally heavy rain.
From Friday through Monday, isolated to scattered storms are expected to linger, particularly in central and northern Missouri. Rain chances range from 15% to 30%, but any storm could intensify quickly. Residents in Booneville, Macon, and Warrensburg should stay alert for updated advisories.
Those spending time outdoors are urged to limit exposure during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and avoid non-essential travel during foggy conditions or severe storms.
More advisories are likely as conditions evolve later this week.
