Nice weather Monday, but rain and colder temps coming to KC later this week
Kansas City can expect pleasant weather Monday before chances for rain return later this week, according to FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter.
The forecast calls for Monday’s high temperature to climb close to 70 degrees.
“But as we progress through the week, we expect rain chances to go back up,” said Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star.
The chance of rain returns Wednesday afternoon and evening, she said.
“Thursday, it looks soggy,” Ritter said. “Friday looks soggy.”
And there could be some thunderstorms mixed in, she said.
“More importantly, these rain chances signal a big temperature change with much colder temperatures arriving by Friday,” she said.
