FIRST WARN FORECAST: Spotty showers Sunday, cooler the next few days
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Good news! We were able to take both First Warns off on Sunday and Monday, meaning we are trending a bit drier than previously expected. I still think that Sunday will have a 30% confidence in a few light showers, but the activity looks super spotty and not overly heavy. You might encounter a few raindrops from time to time on Sunday, but I think outdoor plans will be okay for the most part. Highs stay in the lower 80s with moderate humidity. Same thing on Monday, I have a 30% confidence in a few light showers/maybe a stray rumble. No significant rain chances in the next seven days. We will however return to more of a summer feel. Mid-80s midweek with upper 80s expected late this next week and into next weekend to wrap out the end of July. I am starting to see signs of early August trending hotter. Something worth watching. Morning lows over the next week will at least stay in the 60s for a refreshing start to each day!
