KC could see sprinkles Friday afternoon. But this weekend’s forecast is warm

The Kansas City area could see isolated rain showers throughout the day on Friday, FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter said.

Thanks to KC’s now above freezing temperatures, that moisture won’t fall as snow or ice, said Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star.

Snow that is moving in from the north should be all liquid by the time it reaches Kansas City, Ritter said.

That’s “if it even falls at all,” she said.

Temperatures could reach 40 degrees Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, temperatures should get just above 50 degrees.
