You’re going to want to be outside Wednesday; storms loom for KC’s holiday weekend
Kansas City’s run of pleasant, sunny weather continues Wednesday as temperatures will be slightly cooler than normal and the humidity will be low, according to FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter.
“We are anticipating ample sunshine and temperatures that are going to climb back up into the lower 80s,” Ritter said. “It is going to feel fantastic outside.”
The average temperature for this time of year in the Kansas City area is the mid to upper 80s, so Wednesday’s anticipated highs are just slightly below normal.
Sunshine will prevail throughout the entire day, Ritter said, so people will want to have sunscreen handy if headed outdoors.
And you’re going to want to be outside, said FOX4 meteorologist Michelle Bogowith.
Those headed to Kauffman Stadium for the tonight’s game between the Kansas City Royals and Oakland A’s g have a perfect evening for baseball.
“Our temperatures will be dropping from the upper 70s to the lower 70s towards the end of the game,” Bogowith said.
