Let’s prepare for tomorrow. The first thing you should be aware of is the First Warn alert for the possibility of severe thunderstorms. A quick-moving cold front ignites storms around 2 p.m., with severe weather possible by 3 p.m.
The risk is 2/5 due to very large hail (up to baseball size) and damaging wind gusts. There is a very low threat of a tornado. Storms are likely to strike south of Kansas City, affecting our southernmost counties.
A second line of weaker showers and thunderstorms may form behind the cold front. These would probably be closer to I-70. The window for wet weather is small, with all storms expected to leave our neighborhoods by 7 p.m.
Beautiful weather returns on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is our warmest day, with increasing humidity. This leads to unsettled weather on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The most significant showers and storms are currently forecast for Friday. We currently have a First Warning to emphasize this.
Sunday: The first warning is for strong to severe storms in the afternoon and evening. Be prepared to seek shelter between 3pm and 7pm. So far, Sunday appears to be a great day for outdoor activities.
Our morning begins sunny, with temperatures in the lower 60s. Patchy fog is possible in areas where the rain fell the most heavily on Saturday. Increasing clouds, with seasonal highs in the low 80s in the afternoon.
MONDAY and TUESDAY: Beautiful weather! Sunny with a light humidity. Temperatures range from the middle to upper 50s to the low to mid 80s.
WEDSDAY: We’re expecting our warmest day yet, with highs in the upper 80s. It’s going to get sticky too.
Unsettled weather creates a 30% to 40% chance of showers on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We have a First Warning for Friday’s more impactful showers, which may cover our morning commute.
