KCRG issues First Alert Days for Sunday and Monday storms — Kcci Weather

Kcci Weather says Sunday and Monday will both carry a risk for strong to severe storms, and First Alert Days have been issued for both days. The forecast also calls for multiple rounds of storms, with the strongest expected in the afternoon and evening.

KCRG Forecast

The weather turns active before the weekend arrives. Thursday starts with early sunshine and highs in the mid 70s, then clouds and winds increase in the afternoon with gusts close to 30 mph at times.

Thursday night brings scattered showers and a few isolated storms as lows fall into the mid 50s. Friday then turns noticeably warmer and muggier, with highs in the mid 80s and dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Sunday And Monday

A lingering shower early Friday morning cannot be ruled out, but the rest of Friday is expected to be dry with partly cloudy skies. Scattered showers and storms return Friday night as lows fall into the mid to upper 50s, and warm, muggy, active weather continues through Saturday.

Saturday highs are expected to reach the mid 80s with dew points in the mid to upper 50s. By Sunday and Monday, highs should reach the upper 70s and low to mid 80s, with lows and dew points in the 60s.

After Monday

That is the stretch covered by the First Alert Days, and it is the part of the forecast that matters most for people planning around the weekend and start of the week. After Monday, a cold front is expected to bring cooler and somewhat quieter weather, while the overall pattern stays warmer and wetter than normal as the end of the month approaches.
