KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Good news plans outside through Saturday, we are in a drier gap between weather systems. This means Saturday will be free from rain, but Sunday sees a switch as is being First Warned for rain at times. But it’s Monday we need to be paying attention to, as the risk for severe storms and dangerous weather is increasing.

SATURDAY: Fall-like vibes, with cool morning 50s and low 60s for the afternoon. Mostly cloudy, but mostly dry. There is a chance for sprinkles late in the day, with the better odds for those south of the metro.

SUNDAY: FIRST WARN for scattered rain. Certainly not a washout, but rain will be possible. The best chances are the morning, but the afternoon could still see a little isolated rain. Warmer and mostly cloudy with highs in the low to mid-70s.\

MONDAY: FIRST WARN WEATHER DAY - Our highest alert, due to the risk for dangerous storms and severe weather. It will be windy and nearly hot with mid-80s. You will also notice it as unusually humid. Details remain fuzzy at the moment, but the big picture is that all the ingredients will be in place for hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes to occur in the general area. How likely each of those impacts are, and where they are most likely to occur, are details yet to be fine-tuned. At the moment, the general timing looks late afternoon and into the night.

REST OF NEXT WEEK: Tuesday may still see scattered morning storms, with temperatures cooling back to the low 70s. Rain is still possible Wednesday, especially late-day. Thursday is being First Warned for increasing odds of widespread rain.

This week has certainly been typical spring, with the area being in and out of rain.
