Missouri – Rain is already soaking streets across Kansas City, and water is beginning to pool in low spots as another round of storms builds through the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, a Flood Watch remains in effect with multiple rounds of rain expected. Widespread totals near 2 inches are possible by Saturday, with locally higher amounts in heavier storms.
Across Kansas City, including I-70, I-435, and low-lying neighborhoods, drivers should watch for water-covered roads. Creeks and streams may rise quickly. Turn around if you encounter flooded streets.
Storms continue through the day, with showers and thunderstorms likely before midday and lingering into the afternoon. Winds could gust near 37 mph, adding to difficult driving conditions.
Conditions briefly ease later tonight, but the pattern stays active. By Friday afternoon, storms redevelop with an 80% chance of rain. Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall could slow travel again during evening hours.
The weekend brings a shift but not a full break. Saturday turns cooler with partial sunshine, though recent rainfall may keep some areas saturated. Sunday looks dry and calmer, with highs near 60°F and improved travel conditions.
Looking ahead, early next week trends warmer, with highs climbing into the 60s and even 70s by midweek. However, additional rain chances return Monday night into Tuesday, keeping the ground wet.
This is part of a broader spring storm pattern impacting much of the central U.S., bringing repeated rounds of rain and localized flooding concerns.
Stay alert, avoid flooded roadways, and monitor updates as conditions evolve quickly.
