Kansas City, Missouri – Morning commuters across Missouri may face slick spots on I-70 as scattered showers dampen roadways through early Wednesday, but a dramatic shift toward dry, sunny conditions begins by Thursday. Highs will climb from the low 70s today into the low 80s by Saturday, delivering one last push of summer warmth before a cooler air mass settles in next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, rain chances taper off by mid-afternoon Wednesday, with skies clearing tonight. Thursday kicks off a run of fall-perfect weather: sunshine, calm winds, and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s through the weekend. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 50s and low 60s, but early next week could bring the first real taste of fall, with nighttime temps dropping near 50°F by Monday.
Residents should use this dry stretch to prepare homes and vehicles for October’s cooler conditions. While no immediate frost is in the forecast, early signs of seasonal change are here—especially in northern Missouri, where Tuesday night lows may flirt with the mid-40s.
Drivers should remain cautious this morning on rain-slickened roads, particularly eastbound I-70 near Independence and Blue Springs. No advisories are currently posted, but additional alerts could be issued if temperatures fall faster than expected.
Sunny skies continue through Saturday before minor cooling arrives by Monday. This weekend may be your last chance to enjoy classic fall warmth before Kansas City sees cooler days.
