    Share KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The weather streak we are currently in is nothing short of spellbinding. It just doesn’t get much better than 70s, sunshine, light winds, and low humidity. We want to get Friday and Saturday on your radar, as we are First Warning both days as a powerful storm system arrives. With it comes very high winds, a chance for severe thunderstorms, and a 20°+ drop in temperatures. Starting with Wednesday, we kick it off with morning temperatures in the mid-40s.

    Kansas City urban legend suggests that the small Kansas town of Tonganoxie plays a big part in the weather of the city. The "Tonganoxie Split," as it's called, states that a storm cell "splits" as it moves toward the heart of the metro. A number of citizens find this to be true. Reddit-specifically the Kansas City page-and other message boards crawl with people claiming that this phenomenon exists. The Tonganoxie Split is real.

Summer is over a month away, but the 90s may not wait past Wednesday. Heat and humidity come in combo to make it feel like the mid 90s. We are about 1.5” short on rain for the month. Not much this week, better chance comes Sunday/Monday https://t.co/0351qHXEqf
