Bitter Cold Grips KC, But Warm Events Await: Basketball, Ballet, and Tributes on Tap
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Friday, January 30th.
We're starting the day with plenty of sunshine mixed in with some clouds across the region, and it's cold out there, folks. Right now we're sitting in the single digits with wind chills making it feel even more bitter, around ten to twenty below zero especially this morning. Those hazardous wind chills should ease up a bit as we move into the afternoon, but you'll want to bundle up if you're heading outside. We're expecting temperatures to stay in that single digit range throughout the day with some gusty northwest winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour. The good news is we should see clearer skies developing as the day goes on, so if you've got outdoor plans, this afternoon might be your best window.
Speaking of getting out, we've got some great events happening in Kansas City tonight despite the cold. Over at the Municipal Auditorium, the Stateline Showdown basketball matchup between SM East and Rockhurst tips off at five thirty, so plenty of time to get there before the arctic winds really kick in. If you're more of a culture person, the Kansas City Ballet is presenting New Moves at the Muriel Kauffman Theatre at seven thirty tonight. And for our music lovers, we've got the Emo Night Tour happening at the Truman at eight o'clock, eighteen and over only, and then the Original Silver Bullet and Goddess of Rock tribute shows are hitting Ameristar Casino and Hotel at eight thirty.
Now we want to let our listeners know about a significant development in our local dining scene. A beloved Mexican restaurant, La Fonda, is closing its doors after decades of service to our community. The sisters who run the eatery are taking stock of their time here and saying goodbye to longtime customers. It's the end of an era for Kansas City dining, and we'll certainly miss this neighborhood staple.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we'll see a slight warming trend, with temperatures climbing to around twenty degrees tomorrow, though we'll keep those cloudy skies. Sunday looks pleasant with highs near the mid-twenties and mixed conditions.
We're monitoring public safety across all our neighborhoods and want to remind everyone to watch out for those icy conditions, especially in areas that might see some snow accumulation as the evening progresses. Keep your emergency kits handy and drive carefully out there.
