Residents should prepare for potential thunderstorms and keep an eye on changing conditions to ensure safety during this transition to spring.
Hey there, Kansas City! As we inch closer to the official start of spring, it looks like Mother Nature has decided to push the season a little early with some lovely warm weather. Let’s dive into what’s stirring up in the skies above us this week!
You might not believe it, but just yesterday we hit a delightful 77 degrees in Kansas City! And guess what? The good times are rolling on Tuesday with temperatures expected to hover around the low 70s. That’s a big step up from the usual average high of 53 degrees that we see around this time of year.
Now, while you’re enjoying those warmer waves, the winds will be a bit tamer compared to what we felt on Monday. This means we can all breathe a bit easier when it comes to fire hazards, though keep in mind that some risk remains due to those dry conditions we’ve been experiencing.
From now until Friday, we are set to bask in above-normal temperatures, with highs expected to dance around the mid- to upper 70s. Bring on the sunshine! However, these warm antics are just the calm before the storm, as a hefty spring storm system is brewing and looks to ambush parts of the central and eastern U.S. starting Friday, rolling right on through the weekend.
As excitement electrifies the forecast, it’s crucial to be aware that we could see some intense weather as the weekend approaches. From damaging winds and strong tornadoes to large hail, this severe weather extravaganza will have it all. In Kansas City, we can expect gusty winds beginning Friday along with rain showers that could very well morph into severe thunderstorms come afternoon and evening.
The degree of wild weather we experience will largely depend on the moisture in the atmosphere. If that pesky dry air sticks around, we might just see strong winds and light showers without all the drama. But forecasters are keeping a close eye on where the greatest threats lie—specifically east of U.S. 63 in central Missouri, making its way into the Ohio River Valley.
Now, we all know that tornado season can be a nail-biter, so it’s a good idea to be ready for whatever may come. Make sure you have a severe weather preparedness plan in place. This includes knowing where to find shelter during storms so you can keep yourself and your family safe.
It’s also smart to have several ways to receive weather warnings. Keep that emergency kit stocked with necessities like water, non-perishable food, prescription medications, fresh batteries, a flashlight, and a radio. Also, don’t forget those phone chargers! The NOAA has suggested places to seek shelter depending on where you are, so familiarize yourself with those options.
When severe weather alerts come through, that’s your cue! A “watch” means conditions are right for severe weather to occur while a “warning” lets you know that dangerous conditions are already happening, and it’s time to act swiftly.
This week, be mindful of your Friday commute. Rain showers are likely to create some slippery conditions, especially on major roadways. After a week of spring warmth, we’re set to cool down over the weekend with Saturday highs only reaching around 56°F and a bit chillier on Sunday as we settle into the mid-50s. Keep your jackets handy, folks, as overnight lows may drop into the mid-30s!
So, while you’re soaking up this taste of spring, keep an eye on the skies and be ready for some weather excitement as the weekend approaches. Here’s to a week filled with warmth, preparation, and maybe a little thunder!
