Kansas City faces a soggy stretch into the weekend. Showers are in the forecast Friday, with isolated thunderstorms possible and a high near 68.

Rain Builds Through Friday

Showers are expected to develop and spread during the day, with isolated thunderstorms possible. East-southeast winds will stay fairly light at around 7 mph, and no weather watches or warnings are in effect for the Kansas City area.

Rain may pick back up Friday night, bringing another chance of showers, according to the National Weather Service.

Weekend Plans May Need A Rain Check

Saturday brings a high near 76, but a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms keeps umbrellas in the forecast. Morning showers are possible Saturday.

Sunday morning showers could clear by afternoon, with a high near 76. The broader area could collect roughly half an inch of rain over the weekend, with heavier totals possible north and west of Kansas City.

Brief Monday Break Before More Rain

Showers could clear Sunday afternoon, though they may linger. Monday offers the week’s best window for outdoor plans with partly sunny skies and a high near 79. More rain is possible Monday night into Tuesday.

Tuesday brings showers with a 47% chance of precipitation, while more rain is possible into Wednesday. Thursday stays unsettled with a chance of rain showers, so Kansas City’s week-ahead forecast is looking more like a rotating cast of rain jackets than a clean reset.
