Fog first, then very windy come Monday (2/26/23)
The latest in weather alerts for our area includes a Dense Fog Advisory continues Sunday night through 2 a.m. Monday morning. Visibilities expected to drop below one mile within counties shaded in gray, including Cape Girardeau.
A Wind Advisory is in effect starting at 3 a.m. Monday through 3 p.m. for wind gusts from 40 to 55 mph. Our entire FOX 23 coverage area is under this advisory through Monday afternoon.
A snapshot from Monday morning (around 7 a.m.) shows gusts throughout the region exceeding 40-50 mph. It’ll be quite the windy afternoon and start to the week before winds are expected to slow and calm heading into the evening Monday.
Another very warm day will be ahead of us on Monday, so the wind will be good for something. Temperatures are likely to be pushing past the upper 60s into the low 70s for a high temperature as the rain tapers off.
Meteorological winter comes to an end with the beginning of March on Wednesday. With that, our next system should remain as rain chances throughout the period, but a chance at a rain/snow mix is possible by the end of the week.
