Kansas City, MO – Valentine’s Day plans in Missouri may come with an icy twist as a winter storm moves in Friday, bringing snow and frigid temperatures through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall begins Friday afternoon and could accumulate up to 4 inches by Saturday morning. Winds up to 20 mph will create bitter wind chills, making outdoor date nights feel closer to zero degrees. Those traveling on I-70 or I-435 should expect slippery conditions and reduced visibility.
Thursday offers a brief break with sunny skies and highs near 25°F, but Friday’s love-themed forecast includes increasing clouds, snow, and a low of 18°F. Saturday stays cold with lingering flurries, while Sunday brings partial clearing and a high near 30°F—ideal for a post-snowstorm brunch.
Drivers should prepare for slow commutes Friday night, and couples may want to opt for cozy indoor plans. Salt crews will be working, but untreated roads will stay slick. If heading out, bundle up and allow extra travel time.
Missouri’s winter storm warning remains in effect through Saturday night. Stay tuned for updates as Valentine’s weekend unfolds.
