After baseball-sized hail, here’s what storms have planned next for Kansas City
Grab your rain gear as you head out the door this morning, Kansas City. Lingering showers are expected to move out of the area by Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Unlike the storms that pounded parts of the metro with baseball‑size hail and dumped more than 3 inches of rain in spots, no severe weather is expected, forecasters said. Some creeks and streams could still rise quickly, especially in the Kansas City metro.
Skies should clear in the afternoon, allowing temperatures to climb to around 50 degrees. It will be breezy, with winds 15 to 25 mph and gusts up to 33 mph possible.
Dry weather is expected the rest of the workweek, with temperatures climbing to near 60 degrees. Gusty winds of 30-35 mph are possible, and with low humidity, the weather service said there is concern that the conditions could increase the risk of grass and brush fires.
The fire danger will be higher in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas, and could be more serious just to the west in Nebraska and Kansas.
Friday will stay dry, but a few degrees lower, climbing to around the mid-50s. Temperatures will return to near 70 degrees on Saturday.
The next chance of precipitation comes on Sunday as a strong low-pressure system moves across the region. It will be mostly rain, although a rain-snow mix will be possible on the backside of the system as it ushers in cooler temperatures. Any winter precipitation is expected to be minimal, if any at all, the weather service said.
Next week gets off to a cool start, with temperatures near 40 degrees, well below the average of 56 degrees typical for mid-March. Temperatures will return to near normal on Tuesday and reach the upper 60s on Wednesday.
