Weather blog | Possible major winter storm for Kansas City’s 1st weekend in 2025

On January 2, 2025By Littum

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Happy New Year bloggers,

2024 ends cloudy, dry and cold. The clouds will act as a blanket, so the temperatures at midnight will be about where they are at 17, about 30°. The wind chill will be around 20°.

And please remember NOT to drink/text and drive. A drunk/texting alert is in effect in memory of all those who have been injured or killed in drink/texting while driving accidents. Nathan McDuffie was hit by a drunk driver over 30 years ago and lost his life.

As we ring in 2025, we’re tracking two storm systems. The first is a small system timed for Thursday. The other is slated for the weekend and could become a major winter storm. Whatever this storm brings us, it will be followed by an extended period of arctic air.

Details on the 2 storm systems and arctic air are in the 5 minute video below.

Have a good and safe New Year.
Stay healthy
