Very Fall-Like Week Ahead

It's been a record shattering couple of days with the earliest snowfall ever recorded in Kansas City and two straight days of record cold temperatures for both October 15 and 16. But things will start to come back into line for mid-October as the rest of the week will get to the 50s and 60s during the daytime hours.

Could see some light rain south of I-70 on Friday.
