Alton Drivers Face Morning Fog Before Sunny Monday

Fog greets the Riverbend on Monday morning, with Alton at 44 degrees shortly before 7 a.m. and a feels like temperature of 45. Visibility is about a mile, so give yourself extra room on the drive to work or school. West-northwest winds are light at about 2 mph.

The fog will lift during the morning, making way for a mostly sunny afternoon and a high of 68. Southwest winds will average about 6 mph, with gusts reaching 15 mph. The daytime rain chance is zero — good news for a lunchtime walk, outdoor chores or a little time at the park.

The UV index will reach a moderate 3, so sunscreen is still worth remembering if you plan to spend an extended stretch outside. A jacket you need at breakfast may be something you carry by lunch.

Evening brings mainly clear skies, with sunset at 4:52 p.m. If your plans stretch past daylight, keep that extra layer handy. Winds will turn west-southwest at about 6 mph, with gusts near 10 mph.

Overnight, the low will settle at 42, with feels like readings dipping to 39. Areas of late-night fog could reduce visibility again, and the rain chance is just 1%. Drivers heading out before dawn should be ready to slow down if visibility drops.

For allergy sufferers, mold is the main concern at a moderate level. Ragweed, grass and tree pollen are rated low.

Tuesday's outlook calls for morning visibility trouble before sunshine takes over, with a high of 69 and a low of 41. Skies will become partly cloudy Tuesday night.
