Kansas City, Missouri – Pockets of light rain or drizzle could keep northern Missouri damp and cooler than normal Tuesday, especially along and north of Interstate 70.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, moisture lingering through the morning will hold high temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s across cities like Maryville (61°F), Kansas City (64°F), and Chillicothe (66°F). The drizzle is expected to taper off by Tuesday evening, with skies clearing gradually overnight.
A warming trend begins midweek, with high temperatures climbing steadily into the upper 70s and low 80s by Friday across central and northern Missouri. By the weekend, many areas—including St. Joseph, Moberly, and Lee’s Summit—could see highs in the mid-80s.
Rain chances return Thursday, with the potential for scattered showers across the region. Drivers should remain alert for slick roads and limited visibility during early morning commutes, especially in higher elevation areas north of I-70.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts, stay weather-aware, and begin preparing for warmer, more humid days ahead. The unseasonably cool spell will end by the weekend, when summer-like heat makes a strong return across the state.
More updates are expected Wednesday as rainfall chances and temperatures evolve.
