KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A strong late-winter storm barreled through the Kansas City region late Tuesday and early Wednesday, bringing gusty winds and icy conditions. Wheeler Field at Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, Airport recorded a maximum wind gust of 54 miles per hour, which appeared to be near the top gust in the immediate metro. A 68 mph wind gust near Rosendale, Missouri, topped the reports across the region. Fayetteville, Missouri, reported a 67 mph wind gust. Wind was always the main component of the storm, but it did leave a layer of snow across the region. Most areas reported roughly an inch of snow, including Kansas City. Areas to the southeast of the metro picked up a little more, with Pleasant Hill, Missouri, reporting two inches of snow. It’ll be in the 70s by next week .
