Areas of thick fog are likely to be around Christmas morning. This doesn’t look to be a widespread issue, but it may be rather dense in localized areas. This will reduce visibility and could even slicken up a few roads. If the fog is thick enough, it can produce drizzle. A little icy patch or two could form with temperatures below freezing. The most likely zone for any issues will be northwest of the Kansas City metro, but it is possible within the city as well. Some of us won’t have any issues, but the takeaway is use extra caution if you hit thick fog.
Temperatures start just below the freezing mark Christmas morning/the start of Hanukkah. We will be cloudy and gloomy all day, but it will be dry for any new bikes that need a test drive outside. Highs will be on the cool side with upper 30s, and winds will be light from the northeast at 5-10 mph.
We are First Warning you both Thursday and Friday for rain to return. We will be warming up to near 50 for highs, so we aren’t concerned about wintry weather. But, wet stretches will come and go both days. Thursday morning, late Thursday night, and Friday evening/night are the times that stand out as the best chance for wet weather. Neither day will be wet all day…
