Easter morning frost? KC could wake up cold after Saturday sunshine
After rounds of storms swept through the Kansas City region overnight, sunny skies take over Saturday ahead of a frosty Easter Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Clouds cleared out giving way to sun Saturday morning, but temperatures stay cool. The high temperature Saturday is forecast near 54 degrees with wind gusts around 25 mph possible.
On Sunday morning, there is a chance for widespread frost mainly after 5 a.m., according to the forecast.
The Kansas City region could see a high temperature near 60 degrees on Easter, which should be a clear day with calm winds throughout the afternoon, the forecast shows.
Snow chances next week
Monday is expected to be sunny with a high near 59 degrees, before chances of snow move in overnight, according to the forecast.
Snow chances come mostly after 4 a.m., but accumulation is likely limited to less than a tenth of an inch, or a light dusting, the forecast shows.
Colder temperatures stick around Tuesday. Areas north of the Missouri River may even experience freezing conditions in the early morning, meteorologists said on social media.
“If you have sensitive vegetation that needs to be protected, take precautions,” the weather service said in a Facebook post.
Wednesday is the next warmer day in the forecast, when the high temperature is expected to be in the low 70s.
