A bulk of the impactful icy conditions are done, but we still will have some mist into tonight. Temperatures are hovering near the freezing point, and if they dip below in your area, watch for some more glazing of ice on elevated surfaces. Untreated roads and sidewalks are the main spots to watch tonight. Also, a Dense Fog Advisory is in place for those south of I-70 through 7 am Thursday. A few select spots could have freezing fog, so please give yourself a little extra time out the door in the morning.

Once the north wind picks up a bit on Thursday morning, that fog will quickly mix out. A few select communities could still have some patchy slick spots due to overnight freezing fog, but most of us will tap into sunshine in the morning and those temperatures will turn much warmer. We are expecting to zip back above normal for Thursday afternoon with high temperatures in the mid 40s! It looks like a nice day. Friday also will be in the 40s, with a small chance for a few light shower to the south of I-70 into the evening.

Our next First Warn comes on Saturday as another storm system es through the region. At this point, we have about a 40% confidence for showers, with a small window possible of a wintry mix. The better chance for this to happen is east of Kansas City, but we could still sneak a few showers.

Super Bowl Sunday comes with chilly but dry conditions. High temperatures will only be in the 30s, but at least it looks quiet. Kickoff temperatures down into the lower 30s, falling to the upper 20s by the end of the game. Go Chiefs!

Two more First Warns are in the forecast for next week. We watching the potential for a larger storm system to come through Tuesday and Wednesday. That storm has much colder air it pulls into it, and has signals of measurable snow. This is one we will keep close tabs on, but someone in the region is likely to get some snow.
