FORECAST: Cold front Thursday to bring early, widespread rain

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A cold front will swing through the area Thursday putting an end to our warm temperatures while also bringing unsettled weather to our area.

Showers will become widespread early Thursday before another round of precipitation moves in by the afternoon and evening.

As temperatures start near 50 degrees before sunrise we may briefly warm into the mid to upper 50s midday before temperatures fall throughout the day.

Rain may taper off for a bit by midday before another round returns during the late afternoon and evening.

Temperatures will gradually fall into the 30s after dark and could bring a wintry mix or some snowflakes to the area.

We are not expecting any accumulation with snow, but rainfall totals may reach between a quarter to half an inch in some spots.

After that cold air will be the main headline for our weather through the rest of the week and even more so heading into the weekend.
