Impact Day: Heat advisory issued for Kansas City on Friday, Saturday

1 week ago | kmbc.com | Bryan Busby

OUR TEAM WILL REACH OUT TO YOU. FIRST ALERT WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BRYAN BUSBY. WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE 90S FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. GOT TO GET YOU PREPARED FOR THAT. NEXT FEW DAYS ARE GOING TO BE HOT. TOMORROW IS THE DAY THAT STARTS SUMMER, SO I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE THAT A GOOD PORTION OF THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY IS UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY, NOT ONLY TOMORROW, BUT ALSO INTO SATURDAY. THAT’S WHY YOU SEE THE YELLOW TRIANGLE UP THERE, BECAUSE THE HEAT INDEX COULD BE OVER 100 DEGREES BOTH DAYS.

Tuesday: ALERT DAY A few severe storms possible during the day but the main event is tonight, likely into the late evening hours. A line of intense t-storms will come in from Kansas. Damaging straight-line winds over 60 mph and flash flooding are the highest risks. However, this is the type of line that could spin up a brief tornado or briefly produce hail.
