Kansas City, MO – A freeze warning has been issued for Kansas City and surrounding areas, remaining in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 28 degrees are expected overnight, impacting much of northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. The National Weather Service warns that these cold conditions could cause damage to crops, sensitive plants, and unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Residents are encouraged to take precautions, such as covering tender plants and ensuring outdoor faucets are properly insulated to prevent pipe damage. According to the NWS, the freeze warning affects both urban and rural areas, with colder temperatures particularly expected in low-lying regions.
The cold front responsible for the temperature drop will continue to bring chilly conditions through the week. While daytime highs may improve slightly after Wednesday morning, overnight lows will remain cold. Farmers and gardeners in the region should prepare for the freeze, as late-season crops could be affected. Residents are also advised to stay updated on local weather forecasts, as conditions could worsen in some areas. This marks the first significant freeze of the season for the Kansas City metro and its surrounding communities.
