Kansas City, Missouri – A warming trend is expected across the Kansas City region this week, with dry conditions likely to dominate and temperatures rising above seasonal averages by late week.
According to the National Weather Service Kansas City, temperatures will be near normal early in the week, followed by a gradual increase into the upper 30s and 40s, with some locations warming into the 50s by the end of the week and into early next week.
High temperatures Monday are expected to reach the upper 30s to lower 40s, with a slight cool down Tuesday and Wednesday before warmer air returns. Despite the brief dip, no precipitation impacts are expected, and dry conditions are likely to prevail throughout the week.
Travel along major corridors including Interstate 70, Interstate 435, Interstate 35, and US-71 is expected to remain favorable, with no winter weather hazards noted in the outlook.
