KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - We have more rain in the picture this week, but thankfully, we are not looking at a repeat of Tuesday’s severe storms and intense rainfall. This will be patchy on Thursday, but we are First Warning that it will be more widespread on Friday.

We also have reduced air quality due to smoke all the way from Canadian wildfires. This should improve by Thursday.

THURSDAY: Dry with upper 50s to start, but watch for patchy rain around lunch. The wet hours look to be 11 am to 1 pm, with the rest of the afternoon looking dry. Highs will hit the mid-70s, and winds will be light from the northeast at 5-10 mph.
