Missouri — Rain taps steadily on rooftops across Kansas City, and the damp, gray setup signals a much wetter stretch ahead. What feels like a simple rainy start is actually the beginning of a multi-day storm pattern.
Light rain is already falling with temperatures near 60°F, and humidity is high. Showers are widespread now, with rain chances peaking near 90% through the day.
Roads across I-70, I-35, and I-435 are already slick. Visibility drops at times, especially during heavier bursts. If you’re heading out, slow down and allow extra space between vehicles.
Storms don’t stop with this round. Additional showers and thunderstorms redevelop later, with another 70% chance continuing into the evening. Some storms could bring heavier downpours and brief gusty winds.
Saturday keeps the pattern active. Showers remain likely, especially by midday into the afternoon. Thunderstorms are possible, and while severe weather is not certain, conditions support stronger cells at times.
Saturday night into Sunday is the bigger concern. Rain becomes widespread again, with storm chances climbing as high as 90%. Meteorologists are now tracking this period closely as repeated rounds of rain could lead to localized flooding.
Plan ahead for Sunday travel. Water may pool on roads, and conditions could deteriorate quickly during heavier storms.
By Monday, a brief break arrives with partial sunshine and highs climbing into the low 80s. Still, the atmosphere stays unsettled, and more showers could return into early next week.
Longer range trends point toward above-normal warmth continuing, reinforcing a spring pattern filled with warmth and periodic storms.
5-Day Outlook for Kansas City (Missouri–Kansas):
Saturday: Showers likely, high near 76°F
Sunday: Showers and storms, high near 72°F
Monday: Partly sunny, high near 83°F
Tuesday: Chance of storms, high near 82°F
