Kansas City weather: Rounds of rain on the way throughout the weekend

5 days ago | kmbc.com | Katie Horner

FIRST ALERT WEATHER. ALL RIGHT. GOOD FOR HER. OKAY. EASTER IS ALWAYS A FUN HOLIDAY. THERE’S SO MANY ACTIVITIES PLANNED. LOTS OF TIMES THEY’RE OUTDOORS, BUT THE WEATHER DOESN’T ALWAYS COOPERATE. AS KATIE IS ABOUT TO SPELL OUT TO US. WELL, YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR OUT THERE. SHE WON’T NEED ANY RAIN GEAR FOR A WHILE. MUCH LATER TONIGHT THAT THERE IS A RISK OF RAIN SHOWERS. SO YOU CAN SEE OUR OUR THUNDERSTORM CHANCE INCREASES LATER TONIGHT.

ANOTHER. SO THEY’LL BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY FOR THAT. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME BREAKS IN THE RAIN FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT THIS MORNING IT IS A FIRST ALERT. WEATHER IMPACT MORNING BECAUSE OF RAIN COMING THROUGH THE METRO AND A COUPLE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE SOUTH. SO LET ME BRING YOU IN. FIRST OF ALL, WITH OUR FIRST ALERT RADAR RIGHT INTO KANSAS CITY SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH. IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT, THERE’S THE 4.35 LOOP AROUND KANSAS CITY, AND IT’S RAINING EVERYWHERE.
A brief midday shower today, but stronger storms expected overnight

COVER ALL THE BASES. PUN INTENDED. I’VE GOT SO MUCH TO TELL YOU ABOUT. TO TRY TO REALLY HELP YOU MAKE PLANS AS YOU HEAD INTO THE EASTER HOLIDAY. TODAY, WE DO HAVE A LOW CHANCE OF A BRIEF MIDDAY RAIN SHOWER. IF YOU JUST GOT YOUR HAIR DONE OR CAR WASH, YOU DON’T WANT TO GET WET. YOU MIGHT LEAVE THE CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR A MOMENT. TAKE AN UMBRELLA WITH YOU. BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, YOU BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT.
Soak in the sun today, because changes are on the way

THIS WOULD BE THE. THIS WOULD BE THE DAY. YES. THERE WILL BE BREAKS IN OUR RAIN DURING THE WEEK AHEAD. BUT WE WANT TO PREPARE YOU FOR WHAT COULD BE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE HAIL, AND THAT’S MOST LIKELY GOING TO START THURSDAY NIGHT, WHERE THE LARGER HAIL IS POSSIBLE. WEDNESDAY IS THE FIRST DAY THAT WE HAVE ON OUR WEATHER IMPACT CALENDAR, AND IT IS FOR JUST SOME MIDDAY RAIN SHOWERS. AND THEN OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY.

No post will ever be able to encompass the full scope of what’s happening to schools, libraries, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, but here’s a quick snapshot of some of the biggest (and most bizarre) updates. Sadly, all of these stories are real. So much has happened with the Institute of Museum and Library Services over the last few weeks that it’s hard to keep everything straight.
Cooler and cloudy for your Monday

SOME WEATHER TO LOOK OUT FOR THEM. IF THIS MORNING YOUR CHILDREN ARE GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT THE DOOR FOR SCHOOL IN A FEW HOURS OR SOON. TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING. SO ABOUT 7 OR 8:00 WILL BE DOWN IN THE 50S, AND THEN AFTER SCHOOL, OUR NORMAL TEMPERATURE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL BE HIT WILL BE IN THE MID 60S. THERE MAY BE A STRAY SHOWER, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD IMPACT ANY PLAYTIME OUTSIDE. NO LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH IT, JUST A BRIEF SPRINKLE. NORTHWEST WINDS ARE REALLY KICKING IN.

Warm up expected for the weekend

1 week ago | kmbc.com | Katie Horner

SO? SO NO ISSUES THERE. WE’VE GOT FANTASTIC WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. I DIDN’T WANT TO START WITHOUT TAKING A LIVE LOOK THROUGH OUR CITY VIEW CAMERA. THIS IS FROM OUR TOWER. WE’RE LOOKING WEST. AND FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT HERE, THE CITY WOULD BE TO THE RIGHT OF THE MOON, TO THE NORTH OF THE MOON. BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO GET TO SEE THIS SHOT MUCH LONGER. ONCE THIS DROPS ABOUT ANOTHER 20 MINUTES, WE WON’T SEE IT ANYMORE. BUT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SHOT.
