Mild weather and rainy conditions are expected in the Kansas City area over the next few days, with temperatures pushing into the upper 40s and possibly hitting 60 degrees over the weekend. However, colder air may move in next week, potentially bringing wintry weather. A system to watch for next Wednesday has the GFS model predicting wintry conditions, while the EURO model suggests milder temperatures.
Currently, a storm with potential thunderstorms is forming in eastern Kansas and may bring heavy rain to northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas. While colder temperatures could have led to a significant snowstorm, the lack of cold air means it will only result in a cold rain. Models suggest the storm will pass quickly, allowing for warmer temperatures over the weekend.
Looking ahead, forecasts indicate a low likelihood of significant local snowfall in the near future, but a potential for more activity as February progresses. Areas in Iowa and Nebraska are experiencing drought conditions due to a lack of snowfall and moisture. Stay tuned for updates as the weather situation develops.
