Kansas City is forecast to reach a low of 35 degrees Saturday. The chill will ease by afternoon, when clouds break and temperatures climb to around 55 degrees. For gardeners, though, the first order of business is protecting sensitive plants before the morning cold fades.
A Frost Advisory remains in effect for the Kansas City area until 8 a.m. Saturday, with temperatures as low as 33 degrees possible in parts of the region, according to the National Weather Service. The advisory warns that frost could damage or kill tender outdoor vegetation, so uncovered plants may need a quick move indoors or a blanket of protection.
Clouds Break And Saturday Warms Up
Saturday afternoon should turn partly to mostly sunny, with southwest winds generally staying between 2 and 6 mph. The dry weather will continue into Saturday night, when skies become mostly clear and temperatures fall back to around 40 degrees. No rain is expected to complicate weekend plans.
Warmup Peaks Monday
Sunday brings the biggest improvement, with sunshine and a high near 65 degrees, although temperatures may ease toward 60 later in the afternoon. Monday looks even warmer at around 70 degrees, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 68. Veterans Day should remain mild and bright, with a high near 66 degrees.
Cooler Air Returns Late Week
Thursday's high is forecast near 57 degrees. The forecast includes sunny days and cloudy periods, making the coming week a classic Kansas City fall shuffle: frost before breakfast, patio weather by Monday, and jackets back in the rotation by Thursday.
