Missouri – The morning air feels unusually mild across Kansas City, and jackets may come off by lunch. Temperatures are climbing fast under mostly cloudy skies, already pushing the upper 40s and heading toward 66 degrees this afternoon.
A slight chance of showers lingers early, mainly before mid-morning. Skies gradually clear as winds shift southwest. Gusts could reach 28 mph, especially along I-35 and I-70. Roads stay mainly dry, but drivers should watch for brief slick spots if a shower passes through.
By tonight, colder air rushes back in. Lows tumble to around 27 degrees under partly cloudy skies. That sharp drop sets the stage for a classic February temperature swing.
Friday turns sunny but cooler, with highs near 44 degrees. Winds stay brisk from the northwest. Clouds increase Friday night, and a 30% chance of snow develops after midnight. While significant accumulation is not expected now, any light coating could create slick patches for early commuters. Even a dusting at 28 degrees can lead to icy bridges.
Saturday rebounds with sunshine and highs near 43. Skies clear again Saturday night, and lows dip into the mid-20s. Sunday remains bright but cooler, topping out near 40 degrees.
Early next week starts quiet and seasonable, then temperatures trend upward. Highs climb toward the upper 50s by midweek and near the mid-60s by Wednesday. That warming stretch signals early spring warmth across western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
