Kansas City is waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the upper 40s Tuesday, but the afternoon will feel much warmer. The high should reach 71 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Southeasterly winds around 5 knots are expected at the start of Tuesday, then winds will turn southerly.

Warmth Builds Through Saturday

The mild stretch continues Wednesday with a sunny high in the low to mid 70s, followed by 75 degrees Thursday and 76 Friday. Saturday looks like the warmest day of the run, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 77, according to the National Weather Service.

Mostly Dry Weather Holds

Rain should stay mostly off the calendar through the weekend, with only a few showers possible ahead of a front in far northwestern Missouri. Sunday will be dry with a high near 73, and the front is expected to arrive Monday. Overnight lows remain relatively mild in the 50s.

Partly Sunny Monday

Monday will be partly sunny with a high near 70. No watches or warnings are posted for the local Missouri and Kansas forecast areas, so outdoor plans should face few weather-related complications this week.
