Missouri – Dense fog is expected to blanket parts of Missouri, including key roadways like I-70, creating hazardous driving conditions for motorists tonight and into Monday morning. The National Weather Service in St. Louis reports that visibility could drop to near 1/4 mile, making travel dangerous, especially along southwest Illinois routes. Drivers are urged to slow down, increase following distances, and use low-beam headlights when traveling through fog-affected areas.

According to the National Weather Service, the patchy, dense fog will likely persist overnight, affecting the Monday morning commute. As visibility diminishes, local law enforcement recommends caution to prevent accidents. Fog is expected to clear by mid-morning, ushering in sunny skies and improved conditions for Veterans Day observances on Monday.

The Veterans Day forecast promises clear, sunny skies with a high of 65°F. The night will remain clear, with temperatures dropping to around 39°F. Calm winds throughout the day will provide ideal conditions for ceremonies and outdoor gatherings.

Looking further ahead, residents in the St. Louis region can expect sunny conditions to continue through mid-week. Tuesday’s high will be near 57°F, with mostly clear skies during the day. A slight chance of rain returns Wednesday afternoon, with a high of 62°F, though showers are expected to be brief. Cooler, partly cloudy conditions are forecast for Wednesday night as temperatures drop to around 45°F.

The week will finish on a mild note, with mostly sunny skies expected Thursday and Friday. Highs will remain in the low 60s, keeping conditions comfortable as the weekend approaches.

Be sure to drive carefully in fog tonight and plan for clear skies throughout much of the week ahead.
