KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - From the 20s Friday, 30s Saturday to 50s Sunday, our rapid warming trend is underway. Sunday brings high temperatures back to the 50s! With plenty of sunshine, this will feel like a heat wave. The car washes will be a busy place, but I would be cautious as there still is melting snow out there and roadways will likely remain wet in spots. I think Monday will be a better day to wash the car if you can wait an extra day to melt and dry out, it will be less busy. The warmer air is here to stay, at least for the next week. We expect high temperatures on Monday and Tuesday to near the 60-degree mark. This, with plenty of sun, will make for incredibly pleasant conditions. Keep in mind last Tuesday our high temperature was 4 degrees.

The week ahead is relatively quiet. We have a small 20% chance for a few sprinkles out there on Wednesday as a weak cold front comes through. It only drops our temperatures a few degrees though. That rain chance really is nothing to write home about at this time.

We keep warmer-than-normal temperatures even into next weekend! This stretch will be great to get outdoors. Our muddy ground will hopefully dry out a bit as the week progresses.
