Kansas City, MO – Residents across Missouri should prepare for a significant drop in temperatures this week, with subfreezing nights and gusty winds leading into the Thanksgiving holiday. Breezy conditions and cooler-than-average temperatures will dominate, affecting travel and outdoor plans for many.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will stay below average through the week, with highs in Kansas City hovering near 47°F on Tuesday and dropping to 38°F on Thanksgiving Day. Overnight lows will dip into the low 20s by midweek. Rain is expected Wednesday, with a 30% chance of light precipitation during the day and evening, potentially mixing with snow north of Highway 36. However, no snow accumulation is anticipated.
Thanksgiving Day itself will be sunny but brisk, with highs reaching only 38°F. Travelers should be cautious of breezy winds and pack warm layers if heading outdoors. A clipper system could bring a slight chance of snow on Saturday, though the chance is currently only 20%.
The extended forecast shows little relief from the cold as highs on Sunday will remain near 29°F. Those planning holiday travel should monitor conditions closely, especially on secondary roads where slick patches could develop.
