Spotty showers are forecasted to continue into Friday evening across Kansas City, but a much-needed clearing is expected over the weekend. The region recently experienced over an inch of rain, a significant improvement compared to the mere 3.5 inches recorded over the last 80 days, highlighting the positive impact of this slow, soaking rain.
While light showers may persist this evening, residents can look forward to a sunny weekend. Saturday’s temperatures are anticipated to rise to the upper 50s and low 60s, a welcome change from the chilly 40s experienced throughout the day. Morning fog is possible, particularly for those in the eastern areas near Sedalia, Warsaw, and Clinton; however, it should dissipate before noon.
Sunday promises to be particularly pleasant, aligning perfectly with the Kansas City Chiefs’ big game, with temperatures nearing 60 degrees. Fans attending the game at Arrowhead Stadium should prepare for mild weather, with conditions ideal for tailgating, starting in the 40s and warming to the low 60s by the end of the day.
As the weekend concludes, clouds are expected to increase, bringing another round of showers on Monday. While Monday is designated as an impact day due to fluctuating weather patterns, significant severe weather is not anticipated, with temperatures hovering in the 50s and scattered rain throughout the day.
Looking ahead, the week will trend colder leading up to Thanksgiving Day, with expected high temperatures in the low 40s. Despite this chill, it’s still considered relatively close to the usual highs for this time of year. The following weekend indicates another potential storm system, which may bring back rain chances, but for now, residents can savor the favorable weekend weather.
