The advisory is set to take effect for a 12-hour period from midnight through noon on Friday.
The advisory comes on the heels of a 145-hour stretch dating back to last week in which Kansas City International Airport — the official weather reporting station for Kansas City — failed to post a reading above 32 degrees.
The KSHB 41 weather team is predicting temperatures to drop close to zero Friday morning, with winds out of the northwest cutting to 30 miles per hour. Lows on Saturday morning could bottom out in the low single-digits below zero, though winds are expected to somewhat subside by then.
