Several different days of rain likely in Kansas City as highs warm into 60s, 70s
Highs will return to near and slightly above normal in Kansas City this week as storms will likely bring several different days of rain, according to FOX4 meteorologist Karli Ritter.
Afternoon highs are expected to climb to near 70 degrees Monday, said Ritter, who provides weather updates to The Star. The high typically is 67 degrees this time of year in Kansas City.
“We still have to get through the morning rain which will be blowing in and arriving here and then pushing out before the lunch hour for most,” Ritter said. “Throughout the afternoon, sunshine becomes more widespread.”
