Kansas City, MO — Kansas City gets a calm and comfortable start to the workweek, with sunny skies, a high near 63°F, and a cool morning in the upper 30s to low 40s before temperatures steadily climb through the afternoon.
After the chillier feel over the weekend, Monday looks like one of those spring days that starts crisp but turns much easier to enjoy once the sun has been up for a while.
There is not much weather drama in the setup today, and that is really the main story. Monday stays dry, bright, and fairly quiet, making it one of the more pleasant days Kansas City has seen lately.
The wind stays light enough to avoid becoming a problem, and while the air still feels cool early on, the afternoon should settle into a much more comfortable range once temperatures reach the low 60s.
The morning is easily the coolest part of the day. Early readings near 38°F give the city a definite jacket start, especially for anyone heading out around sunrise.
But this is not a day that stays cold for long. With sunshine in place through most of the day, temperatures recover at a steady pace, and by late morning the chill should already be backing off.
By afternoon, Kansas City moves into a much nicer spring feel, with dry conditions and plenty of sun doing most of the work.
The wind shifts a bit as the day goes on, starting light out of the north to north northwest before turning more east northeast later in the afternoon.
| Time | Temperature | Conditions | Wind |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00 AM | 42°F | Clear | Calm |
| 3:00 AM | 39°F | Clear | Calm |
| 6:00 AM | 38°F | Sunny | NNW 5 mph |
| 9:00 AM | 47°F | Sunny | NNW 6 mph |
| 12:00 PM | 56°F | Sunny | N 7 mph |
| 3:00 PM | 63°F | Sunny | ENE 8 mph |
| 6:00 PM | 58°F | Sunny | ENE 8 mph |
| 9:00 PM | 46°F | Mostly Clear | ENE 9 mph |
| 11:00 PM | 40°F | Increasing Clouds | ENE 10 mph |
That change is not a major weather event, but it does help explain why the day feels fresh rather than warm.
Even so, this is still a very usable day overall, clear skies, no rain issues, and a mild enough afternoon to make being outside feel easy.
Tonight is when the pattern starts to change a little. Clouds begin to increase later on, and there is a chance of showers after 1 a.m.
The overnight low is expected to drop to around 37°F, with a slightly stronger east northeast wind and some gusts picking up after dark.
So while Monday itself stays quiet and dry, the calmer setup does not hold quite as firmly into the overnight hours.
Overall, Kansas City’s weather today is simple in the best way. It starts cool, stays sunny, and finishes with a comfortable afternoon before clouds slowly work back in at night. I
Today’s the kind of spring day that does not try to do too much, and that is exactly what makes it feel good.
