Kansas City, Mo. – The Kansas City metro will enjoy clear skies and mild conditions Sunday before storm chances return early in the week. Sunshine dominates through most of the day, but unsettled weather will briefly interrupt the pattern Monday night into Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will be sunny with highs near 79. Monday brings mostly sunny skies with highs near 81, but showers and thunderstorms could develop after sunset, carrying a 40 percent chance of rain. By Tuesday morning, storm chances diminish, with highs warming back into the low 80s.
Commuters on I-70, I-35, and I-435 may face slower travel late Monday night into early Tuesday due to scattered showers and low visibility. While rainfall amounts are expected to remain light, heavier downpours may briefly affect morning commutes.
By midweek, high pressure builds back in, sending temperatures soaring. Highs will reach 89 Wednesday and climb into the low 90s Thursday and Friday. NOAA’s extended outlook keeps Missouri trending below normal for rainfall, which could mean the dry, warm stretch lasts well beyond the week ahead.
The National Weather Service urges Kansas City residents to prepare for a quick shift: from scattered storms Monday night to unseasonable warmth by midweek.
