Spring-like weather settles across Kansas City area after week of record-breaking cold
What a difference a week makes in Kansas City.
Last week, the metro was in the icy grasp of an arctic blast that brought record-breaking cold to the metro. This week, the metro will see above-average temperatures that are more like spring than the last week of February, the National Weather Service said.
“Most areas today should see highs reach to, or exceed, 60 degrees,” the weather service said in its forecast discussion.
Temperatures will climb to the mid-60s on Monday. Typically, Kansas City sees temperatures around 47 degrees this time of year.
The above-normal temperatures will continue through the week as temperatures climb to around 65 degrees on Tuesday, 59 degrees on Wednesday, 57 degrees on Thursday and 66 degrees on Friday.
Rain is possible for some in the Kansas City area
A cold front will roll through the area on Wednesday, bringing the chance of rain for some, according to the weather service.
The isolated to scattered showers will be possible across northern and central Missouri. The weather service said rain should remain mainly east of the immediate metro area. Any showers that develop should move out of the region by sunset.
No hazardous weather is expected this week.
The warmer-than-usual weather is expected to continue into the weekend, with temperatures climbing to nearly 55 degrees on Saturday and around 60 degrees on Sunday.
For the extended forecast, near-normal temperatures and slightly above-normal precipitation are likely for early March, the weather service said.
