Kansas City, Missouri – Sunshine and rising temperatures are set to dominate the Kansas City metro through Thursday, with afternoon highs surging into the low 90s by midweek. After a comfortable, mostly cloudy overnight, expect a string of hot, dry days—a return to true summer heat that could challenge outdoor workers and anyone with sensitive health conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, Monday will see mostly sunny skies and a high near 81°F, followed by a steady climb in both temperatures and humidity. Winds remain light but shift southeast by Tuesday, pushing highs to 86°F. Overnight lows stay mild, bottoming out in the low-to-mid 60s, making for pleasant evenings but little relief as the week progresses.
Daytime conditions on Wednesday and Thursday will be nearly cloudless, with highs peaking between 89°F and 92°F. Nights remain mostly clear and warm, dropping only to the low 70s. The lack of rain and steady sun means lawns, gardens, and roadways will quickly dry out. Those with outdoor plans should hydrate frequently, limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, and check on neighbors without reliable cooling.
The heat and dry pattern is expected to persist through Saturday, with minimal relief until a slight drop in temperatures late in the weekend. Stay tuned for additional advisories if humidity rises or if drought conditions intensify later in the week.
