Foggy conditions to start; tracking rain, storms later

(KFVS) – Prepare for rain and a chance of storms later today.

Meghan Smith says we are starting off with very foggy conditions, and this will continue through most of the morning. Drivers should use caution on the roads.

But the fog isn’t the only weather event we are watching out for today.

Another storm system will bring more rain to the area and maybe a few storms this evening. It will start to move in through our southernmost counties by around 3 p.m. The system will cover the entire Heartland by sundown.

You can expect scattered showers and breezy conditions. The heaviest rainfall will fall over western Kentucky and southern Illinois. A Flood Watch has been issued for this area for this evening into Sunday morning.

Madeline Parker says a low pressure system will move through the Heartland overnight tonight and into the morning, bringing gusty winds along with the heavy rain. Thunder and lightning are also possible with the rain moving through, but the severe weather potential seems to stay to the south of the Heartland.

These showers will continue overnight through Sunday.

Sunday morning, temperatures are in the low 50s. The rain will continue through the morning, but expect drier, cloudy conditions by the afternoon, with wind gusts potentially between 25 to 30 miles per hour.

Temperatures in the afternoon will be between the mid 50s and the upper 50s.

Monday night, another weaker system rolls through, bringing another round of rain into the region.

Temperatures will drop to the upper 40s by Tuesday.

We start the new year off with below average temperatures in the low 40s with mostly sunny skies.

A weak clipper system moves into the region Thursday night into Friday, bringing the chance for light snow showers.

Temperatures drop once again on Saturday, with lows in the low 20s and highs in the upper 30s.
