Friday is a First Alert Weather Impact Day as widespread showers could slow the morning commute across Kansas City. No severe weather is expected.

Kansas City gets a brief break from the humidity this week, with comfortable conditions Wednesday and Thursday. Storm chances return Friday and continue through the weekend as summer-like weather builds back in.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Most of Thursday is expected to remain dry, with temperatures climbing from the 60s into the mid-80s.

A few showers and storms are possible Thursday night into Friday morning, but the better chance for rain arrives Sunday and Monday.

Heavy rain continues across northern Missouri and northeast Kansas Thursday night. Kansas City turns drier Friday before rain returns Sunday and Monday, followed by heat index values above 100 next week.

Scattered rain and thunderstorms could affect your Sunday and Monday plans. That's why we've made Sunday and Monday First Alert Weather Impact Days. But we've got what's shaping up to be a great Saturday ahead first.

Some storms could move from the northern Missouri area into the Kansas City metro on Friday.

Kansas City stays mostly dry Wednesday night before rain and thunderstorm chances increase Thursday. Some areas could receive several inches of rain before hotter weather arrives this weekend.

Hot, humid and windy weather continues for the next few days and into the holiday weekend.

Kansas City will enjoy sunny skies, warm temperatures and lower humidity through Wednesday before afternoon showers and thunderstorms return Thursday.
