Kansas City is starting Friday under cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 40s, with patchy drizzle expected before the day slowly brightens. The afternoon will top out near 52 degrees, but the bigger weather shift arrives overnight when temperatures fall toward the mid-30s.
Friday Drizzle Gives Way To Frost
Patchy drizzle may linger through late afternoon as mostly cloudy skies hold over the city, according to the National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill. North winds should remain light at around 6 mph, making for a damp, chilly finish to the workweek.
A Frost Advisory is in effect from midnight Friday through 8 a.m. Saturday, with some locations potentially falling as low as 32 degrees. The forecast point in Kansas City is expected to reach about 37, but residents with tender plants should bring in containers or cover sensitive vegetation.
The advisory is a notable update from Thursday's outlook, which called for a chilly Friday night but did not list an active frost advisory for Kansas City. Hoodline's earlier forecast had also placed the overnight low near 37 degrees.
Weekend Sunshine Opens The Door To A Warmup
Saturday begins with patchy frost before 8 a.m., then turns mostly sunny with a high near 55. Skies clear Saturday night, with temperatures dropping to around 40.
Sunday brings full sunshine and a high near 63, followed by another sunny day Monday near 68. Tuesday stays warm and dry with a high around 67, giving Kansas City a welcome rebound after Friday's gray chill.
Veterans Day Looks Mild And Mostly Sunny
Wednesday, Veterans Day, should remain mostly sunny with a high near 68 and a quiet overnight low around 46. Thursday is forecast to stay sunny with a high near 62, keeping the extended outlook dry and seasonably comfortable.
