Feeling like summer today & staying windy

1 week ago | kmbc.com | Brittany Foster

We are off to a pretty mild start today in the 50-60s thanks to the continuation of southerly winds overnight. Wind speeds quickly increase after sunrise, and many could see wind gusts around 35+ mph. The highest wind gusts will take place before noon and mainly along and to the south of I-70. Gusts relax a bit to 25 mph by the evening.
Windy & turning very warm this weekend

We are off to a quiet and chilly start this Saturday morning, but wind speeds pick up this afternoon. Southerly winds will gust up to 30 mph for many today and this will warm temperatures into the mid-70s. We remain windy through the overnight hours which prevents a big drop in temperatures. Overnight lows will remain in the upper 50s with partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow will feel more like summer as highs warm into the 80s! Unfortunately, this warmth will come with more windy conditions.

We are off to a cold start for your Sunday as temperatures are currently in the 30s for most, with wind chills in the 20-30s. Make sure to grab your heavy coats before you head out for your Sunday morning plans! A few snowflakes and wintry mix are possible during the first half of the day, but not everyone will see this moisture. The best chance for spotty morning precipitation will be south of I-70 and roads will be fine thanks to warm ground temperatures.

Another chilly start this morning with temperatures in the lower 40s and partly cloudy skies. Today is a First Alert Weather Impact Day due to the chance for morning rain showers. Most of the rain will remain to the south of KC, leaving us pretty dry. But a few spotty showers and drizzle are possible as you head out the door this morning. Scattered showers will continue south of I-70 into the early afternoon before the entire area begins to dry out into the evening.

WITHOUT THEM? OR WILL WE NEED THEM ALL DAY? PROBABLY. HEAVY COAT THIS MORNING. JACKET LATER TODAY. I DON’T THINK WE’LL BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, BE COAT FREE OR COMPLETELY WITHOUT AN EXTRA LAYER LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BUT IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER TODAY. AND ALSO WE WILL SEE SOME INCREASING SUNSHINE. SO THAT’S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. WE TECHNICALLY WILL STILL BE BELOW NORMAL THOUGH. AS FOR OUR NEXT HUGE CHANGE, THIS IS AS SOON AS TOMORROW. NOTICE THE IMPACT ICON.

This morning: Much colder with temperatures in the 30s, but dry! Today: Slightly warmer, but still below normal for this time of the year ( normal: 61°). High: 56° Cloudy start...decreasing clouds result in PM sunshine. Tuesday: IMPACT DAY. Mostly cloudy with a few AM showers and windy during the day with gusts out of the southeast up to 40 mph. This will warm highs back into the mid-60s. Strong to severe storms fire up into the overnight hours. Hail and damaging wind gusts the biggest concerns.
