Kansas City is starting Monday with fog and mist, but the gray opening act should give way to sunshine and a high near 68 degrees. The day stays dry, with light southwest winds and temperatures easing back into the 60s late in the afternoon.

Fog Fades Into A Sunny Afternoon

Patchy fog should thin after sunrise as temperatures climb through the 40s and 50s. The National Weather Service expects southwest winds of 3 to 9 mph, with no rain in the forecast for Monday or Monday night.

Monday night turns clear, with a low near 47 degrees. Tuesday repeats the sunny, mild setup with another high near 68, followed by a mostly clear night near 51.

Veterans Day Brings Windier, Cooler Weather

The newest forecast is a meaningful update from Sunday's Hoodline forecast, putting more emphasis on the midweek change. Veterans Day should remain mostly sunny with a high near 62, but northwest winds could gust as high as 28 mph, and a small chance of light rain appears mainly across eastern Missouri.

No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Kansas City forecast area. Still, the stronger wind could make Wednesday feel noticeably cooler than the warm start to the week, especially for outdoor ceremonies and errands.

Thursday And Friday Feel More Like November

Cooler air settles in Thursday, when mostly sunny skies accompany a high near 51 degrees. Thursday night could fall to around 32, followed by a sunny Friday near 48 and another chilly night near 33.

Weekend Warm-Up Returns

The forecast rebounds over the weekend, with sunshine and a high near 55 on Saturday. Sunday looks warmer again, reaching about 64 degrees under mostly sunny skies, giving Kansas City one more mild outdoor window before the next forecast shuffle.
