Showers, thunderstorms to close out work week in KC; heaviest rains likely south of I-70
The end of the work week is looking to be a bit stormy, with rain showers and thunderstorms likely to sweep across the Kansas City metro, according to the National Weather Service.
No severe weather is expected from the storms and the heaviest rains are expected to be south of Interstate 70 and across the Ozarks, the weather service.
The storms will follow what is shaping up to be a really nice Wednesday — temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s, light winds and lots of sun, the weather service said.
Scattered showers and maybe a few thunderstorms could start working their way into eastern Kansas Thursday morning. The better chances of storms, however, will arrive later in the day.
Showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread Thursday afternoon and evening. The storms are expected to continue overnight into early Friday, according to the weather service.
The Kansas City area is expected to receive less than an inch of rain. The greatest rainfall amounts will be south of I-70, where an inch or two of rainfall is possible.
The weekend will be warmer, with highs in the lower to middle 80s. The normal temperature for this time of year in Kansas City is the low 70s. The metro’s next chance for rain returns Sunday afternoon.
