Wintry Mix Hits KC Area, Hazardous Travel Conditions Persist Through Weekend

Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, November 29th, 2025. We're waking up to a winter weather advisory across the area, and if you're planning to head out today, you'll want to take your time. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for north central and northwest Missouri with mixed precipitation expected throughout the day. We're looking at two to four inches of additional snow accumulation with some light ice glaze, particularly in far northwest Missouri. Winds are gusting as high as 35 miles per hour, so roads are slippery out there. If you do need to travel, slow down and use caution. You can check the latest road conditions by calling 511 in Kansas, or visiting traveler.modot.org in Missouri. Here in Kansas City proper, we're seeing rain transitioning to wet, slushy snow this morning, with most of that snow moving off to the east before 2 p.m. Lawrence may see just a trace amount at best, with maybe half an inch on the high end. But the heavier wintry weather is setting up north of us closer to the Nebraska border, where folks could see anywhere from three to nine inches depending on their location. Travel impacts are expected through Sunday, with Saturday being the worst of it. Temperature-wise, we're starting off around 42 degrees this morning, but that high won't last long. We'll drop significantly as the day goes on, bottoming out around 20 degrees tonight. Sunday will be even colder with a high near 27 degrees and very gusty northwest winds around 30 miles per hour. The wind will be noticeable throughout the day, so hold onto your hats if you're outside. Looking ahead, another chance of light snow is possible early Monday morning south of Omaha closer to the Nebraska and Kansas border, though it won't be as impactful as what we're seeing this weekend. By the end of next week, we'll get a break with temperatures warming back up into the 30s and 40s. The Kansas City Chiefs continue their season, and while we don't have detailed updates on today's activities, the team is dealing with some roster adjustments heading into the final stretch of the regular season. Locally, city crews are monitoring conditions closely. Lawrence's snow and ice control operations will activate in residential areas once we hit two or more inches of accumulation or if icing occurs. Priority routes including school zones, bridges, and hospital access will be treated first, followed by secondary residential streets. If you're thinking about getting out for any holiday shopping or weekend activities, bundle up and give yourself extra travel time. Conditions will improve significantly by Monday afternoon as the system moves out. This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. Thanks for tuning in, and please subscribe for more local updates tomorrow.
