Kansas City, MO – Light showers are moving across northern Missouri this morning, with scattered storms expected this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Kansas City. Forecasters say highs will range from the mid-70s to near 80 degrees.
According to the NWS, additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible late tonight into Sunday. While severe weather is not anticipated this weekend, storm chances remain elevated through at least the first half of next week.
The most widespread rain is expected Sunday and Tuesday. Meteorologists caution that Tuesday could bring the region’s only chance for severe weather, though details remain uncertain. “Storms on Tuesday could have severe potential,” the NWS stated in its Saturday morning outlook.
Rain chances vary by location, with probabilities ranging from 25% to 65% across Kansas City, St. Joseph, Sedalia, and surrounding areas. The pattern is expected to remain active, meaning daily shower and storm chances will continue through Thursday.
For residents across northern and western Missouri, the weekend forecast suggests damp conditions but no immediate severe threat. Travelers should plan for scattered delays today and Sunday, while keeping an eye on Tuesday’s developing system for possible stronger storms.
