Missouri — A hazy dawn filters through patchy fog across Kansas City, softening headlights along I-70 and leaving moisture glistening on quiet neighborhood streets. The early calm feels warm for mid-November, but a subtle pattern shift is already in motion as the region heads toward a cooler, wetter start to next week.

Residents should plan for reduced early-morning visibility, especially on rural corridors and river-adjacent roads where fog forms fastest. The rapid warmup later today helps road conditions, but gusty southwest winds can nudge vehicles on elevated highways by midday. Anyone preparing for early holiday travel should take advantage of today and Saturday for safe, dry packing and yard cleanup.

Sunshine dominates today, pushing highs into the low–mid 70s and keeping the city locked in a pleasant late-fall stretch through the weekend. Saturday stays warm and mostly sunny, although winds strengthen in the afternoon as drier air mixes down. Sunday then delivers cooler air but still bright skies—perfect for outdoor tasks before the next change arrives.

That change takes shape Monday as clouds thicken from the west and a slight chance of November rain pushes into the metro after midday. Early signals do not support snow or ice this time, but the warm-to-cool shift marks an early sign of a Winter Tease as Thanksgiving approaches. A stronger disturbance later in the week could bring larger regional travel impacts, something to watch closely as we get deeper into the month.

For now, enjoy the mild weather, prepare for Monday’s rain potential, and expect a steadier cool-down by midweek.
