Rain slowly ending in Kansas City area, but windy, cloudy conditions to persist
Rain will slowly come to an end Wednesday morning as a storm system exits the Kansas City area leaving behind windy and cloudy conditions, said FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter.
It will also be a bit cooler, according to her forecast. Temperatures were 51 degrees shortly after midnight at Kansas City International Airport and began dropping after 3 a.m. The metro has already seen it’s warmest part of the day.
“Later on today we’re really going to struggle to get our temperatures back up out of the lower 40s,” said Ritter who provides weather updates to The Star. “In fact, we’ll probably drop this morning and continue to hold steady in the low 40s.”
The radar will remain very active as a storm system travels overhead and exits the area.
“With that said, know that there can be a lot of wind, a lot of cloud cover and rain, maybe even some drizzle, through about midday,” Ritter said. “But then this afternoon into the evening, notice the clouds continue to roll out.”
The drive home will be a lot nicer than the drive in to work, she said.
“We clear out and we get a little chilly tonight, but we make a nice recovery tomorrow for Thanksgiving,” Ritter said. “Highs will be in the 50s, and then we get a big drop in our temps to kick off the first week of December.”
