KANSAS CITY, MO–KS – Low clouds and a cool breeze spread across the metro early Saturday, casting a soft haze over downtown’s skyline. The steady calm of dawn will soon give way to spotty rain and drizzle, beginning a damp stretch that will linger into the start of the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, a weak disturbance is brushing across eastern Kansas and western Missouri this morning, bringing a 40% chance of light rain. Temperatures will hold near 57°F with gentle southeast winds around 8 mph. The pattern turns wetter late Saturday night, when a band of light showers may sweep through Johnson and Jackson Counties.
Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies and only a few sprinkles early, but another wave of showers could form by late Sunday night. Monday remains cloudy with light, scattered rain mainly during the afternoon hours, keeping highs in the upper 50s. While rainfall totals stay modest — less than a quarter inch — wet pavement and patchy drizzle could affect the morning and evening commutes across the I-70 corridor.
Residents planning fall yard work or Halloween decorating should aim for Sunday midday when brief dry breaks appear. Winds remain light but shift cooler midweek, signaling a seasonal slide toward frost-friendly nights as Halloween approaches.
After all, a chilly November lies ahead — and this weekend’s damp chill is just a prelude.
