FIRST WARN FORECAST: Few showers Saturday evening, sunshine returns Sunday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The rain snow mix will slowly come to an end from west to east late Saturday evening. Due to the ground temperatures being just warm enough, road impacts are not expected in areas that have seen hours of wet snow. Central Missouri will hold onto precipitation much later than the rest of us. Skies will gradually clear overnight with temperatures in the upper 20s, with colder wind chills.

Sunshine is expected on Sunday! While it will not be overly warm, we should reach the mid-50s with the northwest wind eventually turning out of the south. Our wind gusts will not be nearly as strong, but the breeze will still be noticeable. It’ll feel pretty comfortable compared to our Saturday.

Temperatures will be significantly warm for Monday and Tuesday, but the wind will pick back up. We are expecting a stronger southwest wind on Monday, with gusts up to 30-35 mph. Because of this and the low humidity, we have heightened fire danger yet again. A Fire Weather Watch is in place for Monday afternoon and evening for most of the KCTV viewing area. Burning is not advised.

Our next large storm system will impact us in the middle of the week. A First Warn is in place as we are expecting some minor impacts to daily routines Tuesday night and Wednesday. Another deep area of low pressure will slide through the region. Out ahead of it, warm and windy. Behind it, dropping temperatures and stronger winds. There is also a precipitation component again. This time, overnight and into Wednesday morning. We should be warm enough for mostly rain, but as the back side of this storm system swings through, there could be a transition over to a few hours of wet snow. At this time, we think that early morning Wednesday will have the best chance. Since it’s brief and the ground is warm, only minor accumulations are expected at this time. Maybe a dusting to an inch near the Iowa state line. The strong wind gusts on Wednesday morning will turn out of the northwest as a potent cold front drops through. This tanks our temperatures Wednesday afternoon only to the 40s.

After that midweek shakeup, we gradually warm through the end of the week back to the 50s and 60s.
