Kansas City is getting one more easy, sunny day before November remembers what month it is. Tuesday starts clear with temperatures near the upper 40s and should climb to about 68 degrees, with light winds and no rain expected.
The National Weather Service forecast keeps Tuesday bright before a colder, windier pattern arrives Wednesday. The change is sharper than outlined in Hoodline’s earlier forecast, with stronger gusts and a greater focus on freezing temperatures later in the week.
Windy Veterans Day Brings A Noticeable Change
Wednesday, Veterans Day, should remain sunny with a high near 62, but northwest winds of 17 to 23 mph could gust as high as 35 mph. The National Weather Service says a stray shower is possible mainly northeast of the metro, although most Kansas City plans should stay dry.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the forecast area. Still, the wind will make outdoor ceremonies, errands and exposed walks feel considerably less comfortable than Tuesday’s calm, mild weather.
Colder Nights Arrive Thursday
Thursday will be sunny but cooler, with a high near 51 degrees, followed by a low around 32 Thursday night. Friday brings another sunny but chilly day near 48, and temperatures could fall to about 33 Friday night.
The forecast discussion warns that a more widespread freeze is possible Saturday morning, especially outside Kansas City and north of Interstate 70. Gardeners should be ready to protect sensitive plants before the coldest stretch arrives.
Weekend Warm-Up Comes With A Rain Chance
Saturday rebounds to around 55 degrees under sunny skies, making it the week’s better outdoor window. Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high near 64, followed by a mostly sunny Monday near 58.
