A dense fog advisory is in place for northern counties in the Kansas City metro area on Sunday morning, with patchy fog possible elsewhere. However, the fog is expected to clear by around 9 a.m., leading to mostly sunny skies and a spring-like warmup, with temperatures climbing into the low 60s by the afternoon. The warm weather is expected to continue through the first part of the week, with highs reaching the upper 60s on Monday and even the low 70s on Tuesday, before a sharp drop in temperatures brings a return to winter-like conditions by the end of the week.
Why it matters
The sudden shift from foggy and cool conditions to spring-like warmth is a common occurrence in the Kansas City area during this time of year, as the region transitions from winter to spring. While the warm weather will be welcomed by many, the sharp temperature drop at the end of the week is a reminder that winter is not quite over.
The details
The dense fog advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. for northern counties, with patchy fog possible elsewhere in the metro area. Visibility may be reduced, so drivers are advised to use caution. Once the fog clears, skies will become mostly sunny, and temperatures will climb quickly, reaching the low 60s by the afternoon. The warm weather is expected to continue on Monday, with highs in the upper 60s, and on Tuesday, with highs approaching 70 degrees. However, a sharp temperature drop is expected by the end of the week, with highs falling back into the mid-40s.
