Kansas City, MO – Temperatures in Missouri will spike dramatically on Thursday before a cold front sweeps through the area, bringing cooler conditions by Friday. The National Weather Service forecasts Kansas City highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s on Thursday, a sharp rise from the mid-70s seen earlier in the week.
According to the NWS, the cold front will arrive Thursday night, dropping temperatures back into the mid-70s and lower 80s by Friday morning. This rapid change could impact morning commutes, particularly along I-70, where drivers are urged to stay alert to fluctuating road conditions and possible fog as the cooler air moves in.
Friday’s cooler weather will offer some relief, with highs expected to hover around 80 degrees. However, the cooler trend won’t last long. By the weekend, temperatures are expected to climb once again, with Sunday forecasted to hit the upper 80s.
