Kansas City Restaurant Week, which began in 2010, aims to boost local dining during the typically slow winter months. Now in its 16th year, the 10-day event features 230 participating restaurants offering set menus with specials at discounted prices.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory at 2:16 a.m. on Thursday valid from 5 p.m. until Friday 9 a.m. The advisory is for Johnson, Randolph, Jackson, Lafayette, Saline and Howard counties.
