Missouri — Pale early light spreads across the city skyline as a gentle southwest breeze brushes the streets and rattles a few loose leaves along I-70. The air feels mild and still, a calm start that hints at a warm finish as Kansas City moves deeper into pre-Thanksgiving travel season. Roads stay dry for now, but drivers should stay aware of gusty afternoon winds that could sway high-profile vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service, Kansas City climbs toward 73°F today under bright sun. Southwest winds increase through midday, then shift north later, with gusts topping 20 mph in wide-open stretches between Independence and KCK. Residents running errands, cleaning up yards, or preparing early holiday travel should take advantage of this stable and warm November pattern.
According to meteorologists, tonight cools into the mid-40s as skies turn mostly clear. Sunday brings another calm and sunny day with highs near 61°F. Winds ease, creating ideal conditions for outdoor decorating or regional day trips before a small Weather Pattern Shift approaches.
Models hint at an early sign of a Monday shower chance, especially after noon. Moisture remains limited, but a light shower could still dampen sidewalks and slow traffic near downtown loops and airport approaches. Any pockets of drizzle may create brief visibility drops, especially across bridges leading into North Kansas City.
Tuesday rebounds into the lower 60s with mostly sunny skies—one of the better windows for early Thanksgiving travel across Missouri. A more unsettled setup forms Wednesday and Thursday as a series of disturbances add multiple rain chances and breezy conditions. While no early Winter Tease is expected yet, the warmer-to-cooler transitions may influence late-month storm tracks.
