Kansas City, MO – Showers and possible thunderstorms will hit Kansas City Monday night, bringing a slight chance of rain along major highways like I-70 and I-435. Unseasonably warm conditions continue into Tuesday, with highs reaching 85 degrees, about 10-15 degrees above normal.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Monday’s high will be around 79 degrees, but rain is likely after 10 p.m., with thunderstorms possible early Tuesday morning. Rainfall totals are expected to remain below a tenth of an inch, so any precipitation will not significantly alleviate ongoing dry conditions.
Looking ahead, temperatures will soar to 85 degrees on Tuesday, followed by slightly cooler weather on Wednesday, with highs near 73. Wednesday night will see lows dip to 51 degrees under mostly clear skies. Thursday brings another warm day with a high of 81, though another round of showers is possible late that night. Friday will cool down, with a high near 70 and mostly sunny skies.
Drivers along major routes such as I-70 and US-50 should remain cautious as showers may create slick conditions overnight. While severe weather is not expected, always drive cautiously in wet conditions, and be aware of low visibility during the potential thunderstorms.
