Kansas City, MO – A warmer weekend in Missouri will give way to colder weather and a potential wintry mix by midweek, according to forecasts. Residents can expect highs near 64 degrees Sunday before a cold front moves in late Sunday night.
The National Weather Service reports temperatures will drop to the low 40s Monday, with a chance for rain and snow beginning Wednesday night into Thanksgiving morning. The area will also experience gusty winds up to 20 mph as the cold air arrives, potentially making roadways slick across northern Missouri. Drivers are urged to plan ahead for changing travel conditions and monitor updates on major routes, including I-70 and I-35.
The gradual warm-up begins today with sunny skies and a high near 57, followed by partly cloudy conditions tonight with a low of 46. Sunday’s high of 64 will feel unseasonably warm, but the cold front’s arrival will return temperatures to below normal by Monday, with a low of 24 degrees Monday night.
By Wednesday, daytime highs will only reach 47 degrees, and a 30% chance of precipitation develops late Wednesday evening. Thanksgiving morning could bring light snow and rain, particularly in northern Missouri, before clearing by the afternoon.
Missouri residents are advised to prepare for rapidly changing conditions and ensure vehicles are ready for potential icy weather. Stay updated with the National Weather Service for the latest forecasts.
