Kansas City is set to experience a cold front on Tuesday, bringing with it the possibility of thunderstorms. The National Weather Service forecasts temperatures to soar into the mid-80s, about 10 degrees above the normal high for this time of year. As the cold front moves southward, it will interact with southerly winds bringing moisture, creating conditions that could lead to thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. The likelihood of storms is uncertain, with chances estimated between 15% and 25%. Areas primarily south of a line from Olathe to Kirksville, Missouri, are under a marginal risk for severe storms, which could include damaging winds and large hail. Following the cold front, cooler and drier air will settle in on Wednesday, with temperatures around 80 degrees. However, the warming trend is expected to continue into the weekend, with temperatures potentially reaching the upper 80s and lower 90s. Rain chances will rise significantly over the weekend, with forecasts predicting a 35% to 55% chance of rain, and some areas could receive over an inch of rainfall.
