Kansas City is starting Tuesday under a blanket of clouds and patchy fog, with temperatures in the low 60s. The fog should lift before 10 a.m., but skies will remain mostly cloudy as the afternoon high reaches 71 degrees.

The National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill forecast calls for light north-northeast winds around 7 mph and no significant rain Tuesday. Early commuters may encounter reduced visibility, though conditions are expected to improve through the morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Clouds Give Way To Brighter Weather

Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 73.

Storm Chances Return Late Thursday

Rain could arrive Thursday night and continue into Friday, though thunderstorms are unlikely with the first round. Precipitation chances increase to 60% during the day. Friday night remains unsettled, and Saturday brings another likely round of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 78.

Warmer Sunday, With A Few Early Showers

Sunday looks warmer, with rain chances continuing through Sunday. Monday may reach about 86 degrees, with another chance for storms in the afternoon.

No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for the forecast area. For now, the main weather issue is the murky Tuesday morning start, with the more active weather holding off until late Thursday through Monday.
