Saturday could bring morning activity to Kansas City, with temperatures reaching near 89 degrees. Forecasters say any storms that develop could become strong to severe.

Morning Storms Give Way To A Sunny Afternoon

The National Weather Service says the timing and location of Saturday’s strongest storms remain uncertain. If storms do form later in the day, damaging winds and large hail will be the main concerns, while the forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and only a small rain chance through the afternoon.

Winds should stay fairly light, becoming northerly later in the morning. Another round of showers and thunderstorms could move through Saturday night, especially between 7 p.m. and early Sunday, with a low near 66; rainfall totals remain unspecified.

Sunday Remains Warm And Unsettled

Sunday remains warm, with a high near 87 and a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Rainfall totals remain unspecified.

The unsettled weekend is a sharper turn from the recent heat-focused forecast covered by Hoodline. Monday then reaches near 89 degrees, with rain chances returning.

Storm Chances Continue Into Next Week

Tuesday is expected to reach around 80 degrees, with rain chances continuing Tuesday night. Showers and storms remain likely at times Wednesday, with a high near 88, before rain may linger Thursday.

The broader regional outlook from the National Weather Service points to repeated rounds of rain and storms across northern Missouri next week. Kansas City’s forecast remains unsettled as well, so residents planning outdoor activities should keep weather alerts handy and have a backup plan for sudden downpours.
