KANSAS CITY, Missouri — The cold front that caused our severe weather is now south of those counties. A severe storm pounded parts of Henry County, including La Due, with hail nearly baseball-sized. At 2:45pm, there was no storm. By 3:18pm, it had quickly developed into a severe thunderstorm in just 33 minutes!
Moving forward, the cold front is refreshing our air. Monday looks great, with below-average temperatures and humidity. This week’s coolest day included some free air conditioning. Tuesday looks good as well. Humidity remains low, while high temperatures return to average, in the middle 80s.
Warm, muggy air returns from the south Wednesday. You’ll notice a difference, especially with temperatures in the upper 80s. A series of storms feed off of this more energetic air, keeping things unsettled on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Expect several rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Good news: no signs of severe weather. A First Warning for Friday remains in effect for our most powerful and impactful storms. Sunday brings in drier air.
