Kansas City, MO – After a wet start to the week, Missouri residents can expect a major turnaround in the weather as sunshine and mild fall temperatures return by Thursday, October 9. Commuters should still watch for lingering fog and damp roadways early Tuesday, but conditions will quickly improve through the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, Tuesday’s highs will reach near 68°F with a chance of patchy fog before skies clear by afternoon. By Wednesday, the area warms into the low 70s under full sun, offering ideal conditions for travel, outdoor dining, and early Halloween decorating.
Thursday and Friday continue the warming trend, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Light winds and clear skies make this stretch one of the best for fall events or pumpkin patch visits across the metro. Motorists using I-70 and I-435 can expect dry roads and smooth travel through the weekend.
Looking ahead, temperatures stay mild through Sunday before a gradual cool-down begins early next week. Highs near 78°F Sunday give way to slightly cooler air by Monday, signaling a potential shift toward true October chill.
