Foggy Start, Sunny Finish: Your KC Weather Outlook for October 11th

Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, October 11th, 2025. We're waking up to some dense fog across the metro area this morning, so if you're heading out early, take it slow and use your headlights. Visibility has dropped to about a quarter mile in some areas, particularly in central and northeast Missouri. The good news is this fog should lift by mid-morning around 9 or 10 AM. Once it clears, we're looking at a beautiful day ahead with mostly clear skies and temperatures climbing to around 79 degrees with a low tonight of 62. It's shaping up to be a perfect October Saturday, so any outdoor plans you have should work out nicely. Looking ahead to the work week, we need to talk about some traffic impacts coming Monday. Spire is planning to close the northbound lanes on The Paseo from 18th Street to East 17th Terrace starting as early as Monday, October 13th. They're doing some necessary infrastructure work, so if that's part of your regular commute, you'll want to plan an alternate route or give yourself extra time. As we move into Sunday, keep an eye on the forecast because we're expecting showers late in the day with temperatures warming up to 87 degrees. Monday looks cooler and cloudy at around 70, then we'll see a nice warming trend through the rest of the week with temperatures climbing back into the low 80s by Thursday and Friday. The weather lately has been fairly mild with yesterday seeing a high of 72 degrees and an overnight low of 46. We've been running a bit dry this month with only about a quarter inch of rain so far, which is below our normal October rainfall. Since the start of the year, we're sitting at just over 30 inches of precipitation, still running a few inches below average. For those of you planning your weekend, today carries just a 6 percent chance of precipitation, so outdoor activities, whether you're hitting the farmers markets, catching a local sports game, or just enjoying the parks, should be in the clear once that morning fog burns off. As we head into the evening, temperatures will drop nicely into the low 60s under clear skies, making it a comfortable night for any evening plans you might have around town.
