MISSOURI — The sky glows clear and calm across the Kansas City skyline this morning, a golden sunrise spilling over rooftops and bare trees. The air feels crisp but comfortable — a brief, quiet pause before a string of unseasonably warm November days settles in through the weekend. Temperatures will climb into the upper 60s to mid-70s, keeping fall chores and outdoor plans firmly in play before rain and cooler air arrive early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, Thursday and Friday will bring near-perfect conditions for mid-November, with highs near 68°F Thursday and pushing 73°F to 75°F by Friday. Winds will remain light, shifting from the south to southwest as humidity gradually rises. Expect dry skies and excellent visibility along I-70 and I-35, a rare stretch of quiet weather for this time of year.
Saturday remains pleasant and mild, but the pattern begins to shift as a weak front approaches from the Plains. Clouds will thicken by Sunday, followed by 30–50% chances for showers Sunday night into Monday. Temperatures drop back into the mid-50s early next week — a typical November cooldown but one that signals winter’s slow approach.
For now, Kansas City and surrounding counties sit in a stretch of fall perfection: calm winds, warm afternoons, and golden sunsets. But keep an umbrella handy — this late-autumn calm won’t last long as models hint at another damp, chilly start next week.
