World Baseball Classic
As a way to celebrate the Italian-Americans from Kansas City, Parisi Coffee is offering buy one get one free espresso shots, two for one online purchases of the Roma Espresso blend and ‘The Pasquaglione’ espresso martini.
Parisi Coffee’s head of marketing explained the drink specials are an antipasto to the World Cup coming to the metro in a few months.

“I think it’s giving us a chance to celebrate baseball season before spring training and it’s unique,” Tonya Mangels said. “I think it would be amazing if Team Italy meets Team USA in the finals.”

Rain chances into the holiday weekend
We are once again starting the day with showers and storms. Rainfall will be heavy at times but severe weather is not expected with the activity that will swing through this morning. If it does happen to be dry where you are, you should still be prepared to experience some wet weather.
There will not be as much moisture around during the afternoon but there will still be some spotty showers and storms around, especially between Central and Eastern Kansas.
Most afternoon highs will still be below the norm but will also show some signs of warming where temperatures will reach the 70s.
Late evening storms will build into the southern half of the area. This will start after sundown.
These storms could become strong to severe. Wind and hail are the main threats.
Storm strength and severity will need to be monitored into the overnight. However, they should gradually start to weaken after that.
Some showers will linger into Saturday but the afternoon will not be as damp.
Highs tomorrow will be similar to today’s in the 60s and 70s.
We will once again need to watch out for some evening storms. They will move in from the west.
A sliver of Southwest Kansas and portions of the Oklahoma Panhandle could experience a strong to severe storm.
Any showers and thunderstorms will struggle to make it through the overnight. For the first time in a few days, early risers Sunday will start the day rain-free.
The rest of Memorial Day Weekend will be drier and warmer. However, another unsettled stretch follows.
