IT’S BEGINNING TO FEEL A LOT LIKE…
KC Update Thursday 11/12/26
- Today is roughly 20 degrees colder than yesterday
- It feels 25-30 degrees colder (wind chill)
- KC’s first freeze of the season by early Friday morning
- Friday’s high nearly matches the 30-year average for Christmas Day
- Even colder by Saturday morning
- Your tire pressure light may turn on your car’s instrument cluster due to the denser/colder air. Just fill it up with a little air & it’ll go away
