Dry conditions, warmer temperatures expected in Kansas City this Halloween weekend
Weather will be a treat as Kansas City enters the Halloween weekend with warmer temperatures and drier conditions.
“We’re going to be dealing with the low 60s, which is right were we should be this time of year,” said FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star. “But the warm up is just around the corner.”
November will get off to a little chilly start, as highs on Sunday are expected to be around 50 degrees, she said.
“But it’s off to the races with 70s and a lot of wind heading our way for next week,” Ritter said. The forecast expects highs to reach the mid-70s by mid-week.
