KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Missouri drivers face reduced visibility on major routes like I-70 and I-35 as patchy fog lingers early Saturday. The morning haze could slow commutes and create hazards on bridges and low-lying stretches, especially east of downtown. Motorists should use headlights and allow extra travel time.
According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, skies clear quickly by late morning with sunshine pushing afternoon highs into the mid-80s. Sunday stays bright and warm, but a weak shift in winds could bring clouds Sunday night before clear skies return Monday. The consistent warmth will continue as October begins, keeping highs near 84 through midweek.
The combination of fog and strong sun makes travel conditions tricky. Early mornings demand caution, but afternoons will bring ideal weather for outdoor activities and local events. Those attending Chiefs watch parties or outdoor fall festivals can expect dry skies and calm winds.
Kansas City’s metro, including areas near Overland Park and Independence, stays locked in a stable pattern. Nights cool into the low 60s, providing relief from warm afternoons. No rain is expected, so watering lawns may become necessary as dry weather persists into Friday.
Drivers on I-70, I-35, and U.S. 71 should stay alert through early hours this weekend. More fog advisories are possible if humidity stays high overnight into Sunday and Monday mornings.
