Kansas City, Missouri – Clouds and cooler air settled over Kansas City on Thursday, delivering an early taste of fall to end July. Afternoon highs dropped into the 70s with light sprinkles across the metro, offering a sharp contrast to the recent weeks of sweltering summer heat.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, a stretch of mild, less humid conditions will linger through Sunday. Highs are expected to stay in the mid-70s to near 80°F, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 50s and low 60s—well below seasonal averages.

The cooler air is a welcome break for outdoor plans across Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties, especially with mostly sunny skies Friday and partly cloudy skies Saturday. Sunday’s showers could lead to slick spots on I-70 and I-35 during afternoon travel.
