Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or just heading to work, here is everything you need to know about the current forecast.

Immediate Alert: Rain and Storm Potential

For those located in the southern counties of the KCTV coverage area, stay vigilant. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to persist tonight and into the early hours of Saturday morning. While the metro area is expected to remain largely dry, the southern border is at a higher risk for heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

Key weather threats to watch for:

n
• Heavy Rain: Accumulations between 1″ to 2″ are possible in southern regions.
• Severe Storms: A few stronger cells may develop, bringing risks of damaging winds and hail.
• Flooding: Low-lying areas should be monitored closely.

The good news? The system is expected to clear out by 4:00 AM or 5:00 AM Saturday, leaving only a slim 20% chance of lingering showers in the morning.

The Weekend Outlook: A Perfect Sunday

Once the clouds part, Kansas City is in for a treat. Saturday will bring plenty of sunshine with a high of around 85°F. However, be prepared for some humidity, as the “feels like” temperature could climb toward 89°F or 90°F.

If you’re looking for the absolute best day to be outdoors, Sunday is the winner. We are expecting a gorgeous day characterized by:

n
• Bright sunshine.
• Lower humidity levels for a more comfortable feel.
• A pleasant high temperature near 86°F.

Looking Ahead: A Warming Trend

As we move into next week, the Kansas City weather will shift toward warmer territory. We expect a steady climb in temperatures starting Monday at 88°F and peaking around 92°F by Thursday and Friday.

Fortunately, humidity is expected to remain manageable, adding only a few degrees to the real-feel temperature. For now, the forecast predicts dry conditions throughout the entire work week, making it a great time for outdoor projects or commutes.
