A cool, damp front moved into the Kansas City metropolitan area on Wednesday, lowering temperatures and keeping clouds overhead. The region started the day near 50 degrees with a chance of drizzle during the morning commute.
Meteorologists expect highs to remain in the 50s for the rest of the week. A west wind at 10 mph, with gusts near 20 mph, will create a wind chill effect that makes the air feel colder than the thermometer reads.
Clouds are forecast to break up from southwest to northeast on Wednesday afternoon. Most of the metro area should see sunshine by the end of the day, while northern Missouri may remain overcast longer.
Thursday begins chilly in the mid-40s with clouds. A front passes through in the morning, bringing a low chance of a light shower. Highs will again reach the mid-50s as skies clear in the afternoon.
Friday brings slightly cooler temperatures, with highs near 50 and partly cloudy skies. Lows will drop into the mid-30s on Saturday morning, creating conditions for patchy frost in outlying areas. Saturday will be sunny and cool in the low 50s.
Sunday marks the start of a warmer stretch, with temperatures rising to the low to mid 60s and plenty of sunshine. Dry weather and highs in the mid to upper 60s are projected for Monday and Tuesday.
