After chilly start, beautiful weather conditions expected in Kansas City on Veterans Day

Weather conditions will return to normal with ample sunshine on Wednesday in Kansas City, according to FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter.

“On this Veterans Day we’re expecting beautiful weather,” said Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star.

The day got off to a chilly start as temperatures fell into the mid-20s Wednesday morning at Kansas City International Airport.

“Temps are going to be in the 50s during the afternoon,” she said. “We’ll have ample sunshine throughout the day and we’re expecting a little bit of a breeze but not much.”

The forecast is calling for a quiet weather pattern. Pollen and mold may continue to be an issue for allergy sufferers.

“But it’s definitely going down,” she said. “And now that we’re entering a cooler stretch, it will likely not be nearly as much of an issue.”

Kansas City’s next best chance for rain will be on Saturday, but the rest of the seven-day forecast is looking pretty quiet, she said.
