Kansas City. Low 90s today, and we might be looking at record-near temperatures before this day is done.
Scattered storms are possible after midnight tonight, and that's where the first Alert Day kicks in. Friday is flagged.
Weekend storms are mainly expected during nighttime hours, which sounds convenient until your evening plans get caught in the middle of one. The window between late afternoon and after midnight is where things could get interesting for Saturday.
Sunday lands in the upper 80s, and that sounds manageable until you factor in the humidity. There's a notable jump in atmospheric moisture Sunday into Monday, and it makes the air feel noticeably heavier.
Monday is the day to watch most closely. Late afternoon into the evening, the severe weather threat peaks.
So here's your practical breakdown for the week. Today, dress for the heat.
Kansas City. Hot today, stormy this weekend, and Monday's the one to take seriously.
