Exciting Weather Changes for Kansas City!
Hey there, Kansas City! If you stepped outside today, you probably noticed a delightful shift in the weather. After a pretty dry October, we got hit with some much-needed rain last night, quite the refreshing change! Let’s dive into the details of what’s happening now and what to expect in the days ahead.
Rain, Rain, and More Rain!
So, let’s talk about last night’s rainfall—wow, did we need that! Most areas received a decent amount of moisture, especially up north. Kansas City International Airport recorded a total of 1.06 inches of rain, which is great news after all that talk about how dry this month has been. When we look back at October, it may not be as much of a nothing burger as it seemed. In fact, we’ll finish with about 2.38 inches of rain overall, making it the 63rd driest October on record.
While the north side saw plenty of moisture, our friends on the south side are still a bit drier, but they finally got in on the action too! It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for any rain, so this is a welcomed change for many.
Say Goodbye to the Warm Weather
If you enjoyed those warm temperatures yesterday, when we hit around 80°F, buckle up because that’s not sticking around. A cold front rolled through last night, and it in its wake, we’re looking at significantly cooler temperatures. Today, look for highs in the low to mid 50s, which is definitely a drop from what we’ve been used to! The clouds from the front will also play a role in how warm we get, so keep those jackets handy!
By tonight, temperatures will dip a bit further, and we might even see some frost by daybreak tomorrow. Cozy up with your favorite warm drink—it’s a nice way to welcome in the cooler weather!
Weekend Forecast: Raindrops Keep Falling
Then, on Sunday, prepare for off-and-on rain as well as some potential thunderstorms. Highs could rise to the mid-to-upper 60s, so be sure to keep an umbrella handy if you’re heading out.
Drought Relief on the Way
Looking ahead, it appears that we’re in for a busy week in terms of weather. With more moisture heading our way, the potential for soaking rains is looking promising! The models are showing great chances for at least 2 inches of rain through Monday, which is exciting news considering our previous dry spell. It could even help alleviate some of that lingering drought! Can you imagine? A complete rain revival!
As we move into November, the atmosphere is primed to tap into those moist conditions, which means we’re gonna see quite a bit of wet weather in the first half of the month. Temperatures are expected to be above average too, so it looks like it won’t be all too chilly.
Wrapping Up
So, Kansas City, gear up for some change! From the rain last night to cooler temperatures today and more showers lined up over the weekend, it’s safe to say that we’ve got an active weather pattern ahead. Keep your spirits high, embrace the cozy vibes, and let’s enjoy this transition together!
