An a First Warn Weather Day (our top alert) may be needed once we take a look at new data this afternoon. The First Warn Weather Day remains for Monday. Tuesday features a First Warn.

SATURDAY: Saturday will be a gorgeous day with light winds, sunshine, and comfortable temperatures. Highs will be slightly cooler in the mid to upper 70s. Get out and enjoy! Some models hint at a chance of storms south of Kansas City Saturday night.
SUNDAY: A new First Warn is in place for Sunday as there is a new threat for strong to severe storms possible in the evening, 5 p.m. to overnight. However, storms may or may not form, as there is a “cap” in the atmosphere that could prevent storms from forming. A level 2/5 risk encomes most of the KCTV5 region, with a level 3/5 risk for the western fringe of our Kansas counties. If storms become severe, damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall are the primary threats, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Sunday evening storms lead us into the First Warn Weather Day on Monday.
As for the first half of Sunday, a few isolated rain and storms will be possible along our southern border. We’ll be partly cloudy with temperatures in the low 80s.
MONDAY: Sunday evening storms lead us to the First Warn Weather Day on Monday. Rain and storms are likely on Monday, with a more likely chance of severe weather. All modes of severe weather are possible: damaging winds, hail, a few tornadoes, and heavy rain. Please stay with us as we will fine-tune and gain new information in the coming days. Highs will be in the mid-80s with breezy conditions.
TUESDAY: Tuesday, another First Warn in place with rain, storms, and the possibility of severe weather again. However, the severe threat will depend on what happens Monday. If the atmosphere can recover after the rain and storms on Monday, a severe threat is possible. If not, the threat will lessen. High temperatures drop drastically into the low 70s.
WEDNESDAY: We quiet down and cool down Wednesday. We have a 20% chance of rain and storms, and high temperatures are in the upper 60s.
