Springfield, MO – A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. Drivers on major highways like I-44 and I-49 should be prepared for reduced visibility and patchy drizzle during their morning commutes. Visibilities could drop to half a mile or less, making road conditions potentially hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog will gradually clear by mid-morning, but mostly cloudy skies will linger throughout the day. Temperatures will range from 72-78°F, with a 15-30% chance of light rain showers in the afternoon. Nighttime lows are expected to dip into the low 50s, with partly cloudy skies.
Rain chances will increase as the week progresses, with moisture from a tropical system pushing into the region by Friday. The heaviest rainfall is anticipated over the weekend, especially on Saturday, as the tropical moisture moves into southwest Missouri. Residents are urged to remain weather-aware, especially if traveling, and to check updates regularly.
