Kansas City, MO – Holiday travelers in Missouri should plan for a mix of conditions this week, with light rain expected Wednesday, sunny skies on Thanksgiving, and a potential for light snow Saturday.
The National Weather Service reports that rain will primarily affect areas south of Highway 36 today, with the heaviest chances between midday and late afternoon. While no hazardous weather is anticipated, roads may become slick, so drivers should use caution. Highs will reach the mid-40s before rain clears by tonight, giving way to a cold but dry Thanksgiving.
Thursday will feature sunshine and highs near 38°F, with light winds making it feel cooler. Colder air will remain in place through Friday, with highs in the mid-30s and overnight lows dipping into the low 20s.
Saturday morning brings a slight chance of snow as a clipper system moves through the region. Minor accumulations, less than two inches, are possible, particularly for early travelers. Forecasters recommend monitoring updates as the weekend approaches to prepare for any changes in road conditions.
Stay weather-aware this holiday season and plan accordingly for safe travel.
