As we head into a more active weather pattern over the next week or so, I wanted to look up at the top of the atmosphere. The jet stream is about six miles up and acts as the major driver for our weather. What is happening this week is a shift from a convergent flow, where air sinks, to a divergent flow, where air rises.

Posted: Apr 13, 2025 / 10:24 PM CDT Updated: Apr 13, 2025 / 10:24 PM CDT After a summerlike weekend, I wanted to touch on an interesting correlation between summerlike temperatures affecting us in here Kansas City and also those in the sky. Sunday was our first 80+ degree day of the year in Kansas City and for all of the surrounds. Manhattan and Emporia actually hit 90 degrees, almost a month earlier than normal.

Share Does it seem unusually windy to you in Kansas City? I have received several comments and questions about the wind recently and wanted to answer WHY it has been so windy across our region in the last few weeks. First, we need to look at climatology. Historically in Kansas City, March and April have the highest average wind speed by month. So springtime is typically blustery here across the Plains.

Posted: Mar 9, 2025 / 10:23 PM CDT Updated: Mar 9, 2025 / 10:23 PM CDT As a big space and astronomy geek myself, I love getting to share viewing information cool night sky events! This week is going to be a spectacular total lunar eclipse, the first visible across the entire United States since January 2019. A total lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes directly between the sun and moon.

Strong wind gusts this afternoon around Kansas City will be up to 35 MPH. 💨 This north wind should keep us just below 70 degrees. @fox4kc #KCwx #MOwx #KSwx https://t.co/F7iwJ1kbOO
