Kansas City, MO–KS – Frost coats windshields and lawns across the Kansas City metro early this morning as temperatures dip into the low to mid-30s. The National Weather Service’s Frost Advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m., urging residents to cover tender plants and allow extra time to clear windows before the commute.

Despite the chilly start, skies stay mostly clear through the day, allowing sunshine to warm things into the mid-50s. Winds will be light from the northwest, offering a crisp but pleasant feel — a classic late-October setup before November’s first hints of winter begin showing across the northern Plains.

Friday brings another cool morning near 37°F, followed by highs around 50°F and partly cloudy skies. By Saturday and Sunday, the pattern steadies with sunshine, calm winds, and highs rebounding into the upper 50s — ideal for fall yardwork, Halloween cleanups, or early decorating.

Looking ahead, models hint at another cool shift mid-next week, with colder air spilling south from the northern Plains. Some long-range outlooks even suggest an early mid-November snow chance developing across parts of the central U.S., including portions of northern Missouri and eastern Kansas.

For now, the focus remains local — protect plants, expect frosty rooftops through sunrise, and enjoy the stretch of calm, sunny days before the next cold push arrives.
