Kansas City, Mo. – Drivers across northern and central Missouri woke up to patchy fog Thursday morning, cutting visibility to less than a mile in some spots. Conditions remain warm, but residents may notice less humidity compared to earlier this week.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, temperatures will hover in the mid-80s through Friday before storm chances increase early Saturday morning. A few strong thunderstorms could develop through early afternoon, bringing the potential for heavy rain and localized flooding.
Highs Saturday will sit in the low to mid-80s before cooler air settles in by Sunday, dropping temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s. The National Weather Service says the cooler trend will last into next week, with below-average conditions likely across much of Missouri.
Travelers should use caution during periods of fog, especially on rural highways across northern Missouri. For Saturday, officials advise limiting outdoor plans in the morning hours and staying weather-aware in case stronger storms develop.
Cooler, drier air takes over early next week, but additional weather updates are expected as storm timing becomes clearer.
