KANSAS CITY, MO – The sky glows a soft amber over downtown this morning, the air cool but gentle as Missouri wakes to another calm start. November’s first week opens with classic Midwest sunshine — and a reminder that mild weather won’t last forever. The heart of the country is basking in warmth that feels more like late September than early November, with highs climbing into the low and mid-70s through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, Kansas City will enjoy several days of sunshine, light breezes, and dry skies, perfect for commuters, travel, and outdoor projects. Tuesday’s highs near 73°F mark the warmest stretch of the week, with only a few high clouds drifting across the region. Winds pick up slightly from the south, gusting to near 25 mph at times, which could stir light dust across open fields and keep the air feeling brisk by afternoon.
By Wednesday and Thursday, the pattern begins to shift. Highs will still reach the upper 60s to low 70s, but models show a cooler front edging south by late week, dropping weekend temperatures into the low 50s by Sunday. No rain is expected before Thursday night, though moisture may return just in time for early Veterans Day events.
For now, Kansas City’s early November rhythm stays steady — bright days, easy travel, and a gentle warm spell before the season turns more serious. Take advantage while it lasts — this could be the final stretch of true fall warmth before winter’s chill starts testing the Plains.
