Summary
Father’s Day is now expected to stay dry across most of the Kansas City area, with only isolated evening storms possible south of the metro in counties including Anderson, Linn, Bates, Henry and Pettis.
Midweek rain chances remain limited: Monday stays pleasant and dry in the mid-70s, Tuesday brings around 80 degrees and a 30% chance of overnight storms with a low-end severe threat to the northwest.
Wednesday carries another 30% chance for morning rain and storms, with little severe signal overall even though an isolated stronger cell cannot be ruled out.
Friday brings the highest near-term storm chance at 40%, while Thursday’s World Cup match day has only a low 20% rain chance near 80 degrees.
Weekend humidity and heat indices are forecast to climb, and even with only 30% to 20% storm chances, KCTV said any storms that form could turn severe because of stronger atmospheric energy.
