Kansas City, Missouri, is set for a stormy Sunday afternoon with the potential for heavy rain and thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms are expected to start developing after 1 p.m., with the highest chance of storms occurring between 2 and 4 p.m.
What to Expect on Sunday
On Sunday, June 8, Kansas City will experience increased chances of storms in the afternoon. Heavy rain is expected, but totals will stay under half an inch in most areas.
