I am taking a short trip to Kansas City and St. Louis to do some consulting for a hospital chain. Looking ahead at the forecast, is it really going to be in the 60's and 70's with sunny weather early through midweek? If so, I will probably not take a jacket.
You could not do that in Seattle this time of year since the forecasts are notoriously inaccurate in predicting rain. Best to bring a parka to Seattle just in case, if the weather report is for no rain.

Midwest, April= Sudden Thunderstorms and daily temperature swings and weather forecasts that are only good for 36hrs. Bring a jacket.

Might make that a lifejacket, and hardhat/helmet!!

Which KC health system you talking to?
April and May in Misery, you better bring shorts, a jacket and an umbrella.

Highs of about 88-89 this past weekend, with occasional thunderstorms. The forecast is indeed 60s and 70s for this coming week, but temps drop about twenty degrees overnight.

The weather is missourable =D

The weather in Kansas City and St. Louis was gorgeous. The low to mid 70's with sunny skies and a slight breeze. And then I flew home last night to 49 degrees and raining. And from looking at the newspaper real estate ads online, housing costs in these two areas of Missouri appear to be about half of what they are in Seattle. :O

And those are probably the most expensive areas of Missouri.

As we drove across the state on I-70, I thought a few things:
Great bicycling terrain since it seems to be a lot flatter than Western Washington
I would love to ride on the Katy Trail, a rails-to-trails state park that stretches 238 miles across the state
Fireworks must be legal year round, based on the number of fireworks stores that I saw on I-70
I could probably spend a month in Kansas City eating BBQ. I had some of the best burnt ends and brisket I have ever had in my life. We ate at Jack Stack's and Arthur Bryant's. My only regret is that we were not in KC longer.
Everyone, when talking about the weather, used the phrase 'we have four seasons', which I thought was interesting. I told them that in Seattle we have two seasons, and you can tell them apart by if the rain is warmer or colder. This cartoon is actually pretty accurate: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/seattle_weather

You noticed those? ;/ As a rural kid, I was unfamiliar with the concept of anti-fireworks legislation. You've got plenty of country folk that light off fireworks whenever they please, if they're not actually shooting firearms on their property.
I have always assumed that fireworks laws are municipal matters that vary by - wait for it - municipality.

Wait - you didn't have Oklahoma Joes?
Oh, you poor man. You don't even know what you're missing.

Seattle is great for seafood and Asian cuisines. BBQ, not so much, to my regret.
