Kansas City is starting Sunday under cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-60s, and the afternoon will top out near 74 degrees. Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible through the morning before rain chances fade to a slight possibility later in the day.
Sunday Showers Stay Scattered
The forecast calls for a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday, with the best odds before early afternoon and east winds near 6 mph. The National Weather Service says activity should be concentrated mainly south and east of Interstate 35, with severe weather not expected. The latest setup is a wetter Sunday update than the weekend outlook covered by Hoodline earlier this week.
Monday Offers A Brief Weather Break
Monday looks like the week’s easiest day for outdoor plans, with partly sunny skies and a high near 76 degrees. Rain chances remain very low Monday night, when temperatures fall to around 65.
Heavy Rain Risk Builds Tuesday Night
Tuesday turns warmer, reaching near 79 degrees, but rain chances rise to about 50% during the day before showers and thunderstorms become likely Tuesday night. The unsettled pattern continues Wednesday and Thursday, when rain and thunderstorms are expected and highs reach only the mid-70s.
The National Weather Service says the potential for multiple rounds of heavy rain and flooding is increasing from Tuesday night through Thursday. The exact location of the heaviest rain remains uncertain, but forecasters say the broader region has a meaningful chance of several inches of rain.
Quiet Now, Wetter Pattern Ahead
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Kansas City forecast area Sunday morning. Still, anyone with midweek travel or outdoor plans should monitor updates, allow extra time during downpours and avoid driving through flooded roads.
