FARTHER NORTH, NOT AS MUCH, BUT STILL THE NUMBERS ARE FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE WITH SOMETHING THAT REALLY DIDN’T PRODUCE A MAJOR THUNDERSTORM. A HEAVY DOWNPOURS LIKE THAT. SO WE LIKE THAT. BUT HOWEVER, THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE AS WE DEAL WITH SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WE MADE THEM ALERT DAYS BECAUSE SEVERE WEATHER THREATS, MOSTLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENING HOURS FOR BOTH DAYS, ANYTHING FROM WIND, HAIL, DAMAGING HAIL.

After a round of beneficial rain Sunday, the focus now shifts to a more active stretch of weather across the Kansas City area.Tuesday and Wednesday are both Alert Days, with multiple chances for thunderstorms developing across eastern Kansas and western Missouri.Storms are most likely during the afternoon and evening hours both days, when conditions will be more favorable for stronger development.The main threats will be strong wind gusts and large hail, and there is also a tornado risk that cannot be ruled out.This setup covers a large part of the region, so much of the Kansas City metro could see impacts at some point during this stretch. Timing and specific impacts will become clearer as we get closer.Conditions stay quiet and warm through Monday before storm chances increase.The bottom line is to stay weather aware and make sure alerts are enabled on your phone as we head into midweek.

Rain chances into the holiday weekend

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.
