Rain storms to roll though Kansas City area tonight; bringing cooler temps
Storms will likely move through the Kansas City area tonight, according to FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter. But during the day, the weather will be warm and sunny.
“It’s going to feel like summer once again though as afternoon highs climb into the lower 80s,” said Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star.
There’s a chance of a few spotty showers popping up, especially on the south side of Interstate 70 throughout the afternoon, she said.
“But the main event of rain, if you will, is going to be with the cold front that will blow in overnight tonight,” Ritter said. “That front is going to bring rain and thunderstorms chances back to our forecast especially after midnight.”
BEHIND THE STORY
MOREHow we did this story
The Star produced this weather update in partnership with the local FOX4 television station. The station’s meteorologists create forecast videos multiple times a day for the newspaper to include in its weather reports.
The greater chances of widespread showers and thunderstorms will remain north of Kansas City, but storms will roll through the metro before sunrise Wednesday.
Some of storms could be strong to severe as they move through extreme northeast Kansas and far northwest Missouri, according to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill.
“Behind it, we cool back down again and we get some more cool, dry, fall air moving in,” Ritter said.
