Kansas City Under Lingering Showers as Temperatures Remain Cool
Kansas city residents can expect continued showers and overcast skies throughout Monday evening, according to the First Alert Weather Team. The ongoing precipitation prompted a First Alert Weather Day designation due to the widespread, scattered nature of the showers.
The cool, damp conditions are impacting evening commutes and outdoor activities across the metro area. Temperatures are currently in the 60s and will dip into the 50s overnight. While Tuesday promises a gradual drying trend, highs will remain below the seasonal average in the 70s. A more significant weather shift is anticipated Wednesday, with a fast-moving cold front bringing the potential for heavier rainfall and thunderstorms – already declared another First Alert Weather Impact Day. Following Wednesday’s system, a noticeable change towards autumn-like weather is expected to arrive for the weekend.
Occasional, patchy showers are expected to persist through the evening. The current forecast indicates a slow clearing trend for Tuesday,with cooler-than-normal temperatures continuing. Wednesday’s cold front poses a risk of more intense storms before the arrival of drier, autumnal air.
