Kansas City, MO – A dramatic shift in weather is set to impact Missouri starting Monday, as a cold front sweeps through the region, dropping temperatures sharply by midweek. Monday’s high near 46°F will feel brisk compared to Sunday’s 65°F, with gusty winds adding to the chill.
According to the National Weather Service, the cold front will bring temperatures well below normal, settling into the 30s by Thanksgiving Day. A wintry mix of rain and snow is possible late Wednesday into Thursday morning, particularly along I-70. While no significant accumulation is expected, drivers should exercise caution as slick spots may develop on roadways during the busy holiday travel period.
The week kicks off with mild, sunny conditions Sunday and early Monday, but colder air dominates the forecast beginning Monday evening. Low temperatures will drop into the mid-20s overnight, with Tuesday remaining clear but chilly. Thanksgiving Day highs will struggle to reach 38°F, making for a frigid holiday.
Residents planning travel should monitor weather updates closely, particularly if heading north toward areas more likely to see freezing precipitation. Pack warm clothing and allow extra time for potential road delays midweek.
Extended forecasts predict temperatures will rebound slightly by Friday, with highs near 45°F and mostly sunny skies. However, the remainder of the week underscores the importance of preparing for the arrival of true winter conditions.
