FOX4 Forecast: Blizzard Warning Winter Storm Warning
Jan 04, 2025
A Blizzard Warning has been issued for the north side of the Kansas City Metro until 3 AM Monday. 8"+ of snow, 40 MPH winds, and near zero visibility are expected from Leavenworth, Platte, and Clay counties north. The rest of the Kansas City region remains in a Winter Storm Warning until 3 AM Monday for 5-10" of blowing snow.
Freezing rain and some sleet will continue this evening. Tonight it changes over to snow around & north of 36 Highway but may wait until mid-morning. That change for the Metro is still somewhat up in the air and will be a major factor in snow totals. The transition will be later Sunday farther south, so snow totals are naturally lower, but the ice totals & power outage chance is much higher.
All wintry precip will end Sunday night around midnight, and the forecast pivots to the arctic cold Monday - Wednesday. Wind chills those mornings could be as cold as -10 to -15 degrees, creating potential extended closures. Stay with FOX 4 on-air/online as we update you throughout the weekend!
