Kansas City’s next chance of precipitation arrives on Thursday. Temperatures should be warm enough that it should be mostly rain. However, there is a chance for some snow to mix in overnight Thursday into Friday, the weather service said.

“At this time little to no snow accumulations are expected for Friday morning,” the weather service said in its forecast discussion. “Precipitation should exit to the east by Friday afternoon with daytime highs in the mid 30s to lower 40s.”
