Dangerous temperatures turn up the heat across Kansas City metro

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The temperatures have cranked up across the Kansas City metro with feel-like temperatures into the triple digits over the next several days.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends staying indoors and drinking plenty of water during the peak summer heat. If you have to be outside, these are the reminders for staying safe.

– Dress for the weather, with lightweight and loose-fitting clothing.

– Take it slow, pace yourself.

– Stay hydrated

– Wear sunscreen

The CDC warns of three common heat illnesses to watch for.

– Heat rash: Red, stinging rash that develops in extreme heat and excessive sweat.

– Heat cramps: Painful muscle cramps, usually felt during exercise and dehydration.

– Heat exhaustion: The most common heat illness is when the body can’t cool itself through sweating. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, and fainting.

According to the CDC, children and older adults are especially susceptible to heat exhaustion.

If you do plan on spending time outside make sure to go early.

Julian Mendez and Sancia Scharhag were walking with their baby at Loose Park early this morning and packed extra supplies for the heat.

“We’re packing these little fans we got on Amazon,” Mendez said. “Bring a little snack box, some water, a good time, some smiles and you’re ready to go.”

A First Warn 5 Weather Day has been declared for July 29 because of extreme heat.

Nigerian striker Willy Agada scored the deciding goal in the 76th minute to give Sporting Kansas City a 2-1 victory Sunday over visiting Chicago in the Leagues Cup.

Greek striker Georgios Koutsias opened the scoring for the Fire in the 22nd minute only for US defender Robert Castellanos of Kansas City to net the equalizer in the 39th minute.

The tournament features MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX teams in a World Cup-style event featuring three-team groups with each advancing two into knockout rounds.

Host New York City FC edged Mexico’s Queretaro 4-3 on penalties after playing to a goalless draw. New York gets two points in the group table to one for Queretaro with FC Cincinnati yet to play.

Sunday’s matches marked the end of the first round of group matches with the second wave starting on Tuesday.

Defending champion Inter Miami, without injured star Lionel Messi, beat Puebla on Saturday in their group opener. Puebla and Tigres UANL will play on Wednesday in Houston, where Miami will face Tigres on Saturday to close their group.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Two teenagers were seriously injured after their SUV flipped on I-29 near the Kansas City Airport over the weekend.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol indicates that just before 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, emergency crews were called to the area of I-29 and I-435, near the Kansas City Airport, with reports of a single-vehicle collision.

When first responders arrived, they said they found a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Alexander D. Maxwell, 18, of Kansas City, Mo., had veered off the left side of the road where it flipped and crossed the center median.
