Kansas City is waking up Saturday to mild, humid air and partly cloudy skies, but a dry weekend is not in the cards. Showers and thunderstorms may pop on and off through Saturday, with a high near 77 and the wetter stretch arriving Saturday night into early Sunday.
Saturday Brings On-And-Off Showers
The National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill puts Saturday's rain chance at 40%, with mostly cloudy skies and southeast winds around 9 mph. Thunderstorms are possible, but forecasters expect them to remain non-severe, with rainfall generally between a tenth and a quarter inch.
Saturday night looks wetter, with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a low near 63. Rain chances continue into Sunday morning, so outdoor plans may need an umbrella and a backup option.
Sunday Improves Before A Brief Monday Break
Sunday starts with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, but the odds decrease after the morning. Partly sunny skies should return by afternoon, with a high near 78 and only a slight chance of additional showers.
Monday is shaping up as the best window for outdoor plans, with partly sunny skies and a high near 79. The updated forecast shifts the weekend timing from Hoodline's earlier report, as showers are now expected to linger into Sunday morning before clearing.
Rain Chances Return Midweek
The quiet Monday break will be short-lived. Showers and thunderstorms become likely Tuesday, with a 70% chance of precipitation and a high near 77, followed by an even wetter Tuesday night and Wednesday, when rain chances rise to 80% and 90%.
The weather service says it will monitor the potential for flooding next week as additional moisture moves into the region, though the eventual setup remains uncertain. For now, Kansas City has a manageable weekend forecast: damp at times, warmer than chilly, and noticeably calmer on Monday.
