Episode Details

Kansas City enjoys a warm February, with temperatures soaring to near record highs, but a winter storm is on the horizon for the weekend. Expect sunny skies and temperatures in the low sixties on Thursday, climbing to around seventy-three degrees on Friday. However, this dry, windy setup poses a high fire risk, making it a bad day for outdoor burns. The warmth wont last, as a cold front arrives on Friday night, bringing temperatures down to the mid-sixties on Saturday. Fire danger remains elevated until the front arrives.

Residents are preparing for a messy shift as Sunday brings a mix of rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The exact outcome depends on temperatures, with northern areas leaning towards snow and northeastern Kansas and west-central Missouri facing higher odds for ice. Newer forecasts show a twenty-five to forty-five percent chance of freezing rain, with a five to ten percent chance of a quarter-inch in those zones. Snow odds have also increased, with a thirty-five to forty-five percent chance of an inch or more right in the Kansas City area, especially farther north. The stormy weather continues into next week, with daily shots at rain and more wintry weather. Stay updated with the National Weather Service for the latest forecasts.
