FIRST WARN FORECAST: Cooler and wet at times into the weekend

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The storms are long gone, and we will get a welcomed break from the threat of severe weather for awhile. That said, rain will come and go as we wrap up the week and head into the weekend, which may impact your plans outside. With the showers comes a cool-down, with an extended stretch of abnormally cool days.

Thursday afternoon and evening rain activity looks a bit bolder. Severe weather is not expected, but some off-and-on light to moderate showers are possible, especially near and south of I-70. A couple of tenths of an inch of rain are possible by today’s end.

The weather pattern brings cooler air and light rain through the end of the week.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY FIRST WARNS: Off and on rain showers are likely into the second half of the day Friday. No severe weather is expected. It does not appear to be very heavy rain, maybe another tenth of an inch. There will be some significant rain in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, but we will not see anything substantial around Kansas City. Still, a First Warn remains in place for Saturday. Saturday looks to be split; folks farther north may not see as much rain, while those south of I-70 see a better chance of rain.

Temperatures do appear chilly, coming in well below normal for this time of year in the lower to mid-50s.
