Patchy to dense fog likely overnight for Mid-Missouri

TONIGHT: Gradually clearing skies will give way to a chilly night with overnight lows near freezing. It’s likely that patchy freezing fog will occur for areas along and north of Hwy 24. Elsewhere, patchy fog will just filter into Mid-Missouri. Winds will be out of the northeast under 6 mph, giving way to wind chill values in the upper 20s by morning.

MONDAY: It will be a chilly and foggy start to the day. Foggy conditions will stick around through the first part of the morning, with a brief window of some sunshine. By the afternoon hours, clouds will build right back into Mid-Missouri ahead of another upper level disturbance. With very dry air in place, no rain is expected. Highs during the afternoon will top out in the lower 50s, with winds out of the south up to 11 mph.

EXTENDED: We make a run into the upper 50s and lower 60s as we head into the middle of the week, ahead of another cold front. This cold front will set the stage for rain to return to Mid-Missouri beginning Tuesday night. Initially we’ll see drizzle Tuesday night before rain and thunderstorms track into Mid-Missouri by Wednesday. The cloudy skies and rain through the week will keep overnight lows in the upper 30s to upper 40s. Another cold front is set to track through Mid-Missouri by the end of the weekend. Not only will we see rain with this frontal boundary, but a return to cooler conditions will arrive by the weekend. Rainfall amounts by Friday evening across Mid-Missouri will be near .50″ in many spots. Highs will top out in the lower 50s, with overnight lows near freezing.
