KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Don’t forget, we “Spring Forward” Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time begins. That means our new sunrise/sunset will be at 7:39 AM and 7:20 PM.

Sunday temperatures start in the lower 30s but end up in the lower/mid-60s in the afternoon! This will be one of the nicest days we have had in a while. We expect abundant sunshine and a light west wind. Please find some time to get outside!

Our wind picks up a little bit more on Monday, but so does our afternoon high temperature. We expect to reach the mid-70s on Monday with more sun. There will be a bit of a temperature tug-of-war this week with a series of cold fronts. The one Tuesday morning brings temperatures back to the mid-60s, still well above normal for this time of year. Back to the 70s on Thursday and Friday.

We expect abundant sunshine and a light west wind. Please find some time to get outside!

We are eyeing the potential for a larger storm to through the region late next week and into next weekend. Right now, the confidence for rain is lower, but it looks like Friday could have some evening showers. We do have higher confidence in a cold front on Saturday morning. This will bring windy conditions and much cooler air next Saturday. This still is about a week out, so we will see if models continue to pick up on this.

Saturday evening weather update

Our Sunday weather looks awesome! Meteorologist Warren Sears has a look at the warming trend over the next few days.
