Severe Thunderstorm Watch Announced in the Southeast of Kansas City –

THE SCHOOL YEAR. EXCLUSIVE LIVE RADAR AND NINE DAY FORECAST. SO YOU’LL KNOW FIRST. THIS IS FIRST ALERT WEATHER AND WE’RE STILL TECHNICALLY IN A DROUGHT, RIGHT? EVEN WITH ALL OF THIS RAIN RECENTLY, WE REALLY ARE NOT NECESSARILY AS SERIOUS AS IT WAS. SO WE ARE MAKING SOME HEADWAY. THAT’S GOOD NEWS. I STILL THINK WE NEED A FEW MORE ROUNDS OF SLOW SOAKING RAINS. NOT THE FIVE PLUS INCHES THAT THEY GOT FARTHER OFF TO THE EAST OF KANSAS CITY EITHER I’M TALKING MAYBE A HALF INCH TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN EVERY SITTING HERE. WE HAVE SOME CLOUDY SKIES. AND IF YOU LOOK VERY CAREFULLY WITH THE FOLIAGE IN THE BACKGROUND, A FEW RAINDROPS ARE FALLING. SAME THING AT KECHI. CURRENT TEMPERATURE, 82. BUT THE DEW POINT IS A WHOPPING 77. SO IT IS COOL COMPARED TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE FOR AUGUST, BUT IT IS VERY HUMID TO SAY THE LEAST. THAT’S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE’RE WRINGING OUT SOME OF THAT MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF SOME OF THOSE CLOUDINESS AND ALSO THOSE SHOWERS, 80 CHILLICOTHE AS WELL AS ODESSA, 88. IN CLINTON, 93 DEGREES IN GARNETT, 90 VERY CLOSE TO IT. ALSO DOWN TOWARD RACINE AT 91, 85 IN LAWRENCE AND 80 IN MARYVILLE WIDE RANGE DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE WITH THE RAIN AND ALSO THE THICK CLOUDS. AS FAR AS THE HEAT INDEX IS CONCERNED, THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS REALLY NOT THAT BAD AT ALL. TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST OF US, BUT STILL OPPRESSIVE HEAT DOWN TO THE SOUTH. ALETHA, 100 YEAR HEAT INDEX, 106 DOWN TOWARD BUTLER, 116 IN GARNETT. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT FIRST ALERT CLOUDS AND RADAR. WHY ARE YOU ASKING? LOOK, SUNSHINE ALL DAY. CLOUDS AND ALSO RAIN SHOWERS, WHICH IS WHY I WAS SO COOL TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AND WE WERE SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN WITH SOME SHOWERS HERE AND THERE, BUT STILL A FEW BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST. KEEP THE UMBRELLA HANDY, I THINK AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS OR SO, IMPACTS THROUGH ABOUT 8:00. BY 10:00, IT’LL BE MORE SCATTERED AND MAYBE MORE OF A DRIER SITUATION. 77 THEN AND BY MIDNIGHT, 75 DEGREES AN EAST WIND AT 10 TO 15MPH. AS I PROMISE YOU. HERE’S A LOOK AT FIRST ALERT FUTURE SCAN TALKING ABOUT PRE-DAWN ON THURSDAY AND LO AND BEHOLD, ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. NOT FOR EVERYBODY. NARROW CORRIDOR SOUTH OF 36 HIGHWAY, ABOUT I-70 AND NORTH OF 50 HIGHWAY. SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VIEWING REGION ITSELF, THIS IS EIGHT IN THE MORNING, SLOW GOING, A POSSIBILITY WITH SOME SOME SHOWERS AROUND. FIRST NEWS WILL BE HERE TO GET YOU THROUGH THAT. THEN HEADING TOWARD NOONTIME, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, BUT I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE MORE SUNSHINE POPPING THROUGH. HIGH TEMPERATURE GETS UP TO ABOUT 89 DEGREES, CHANCE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONLY IN THE MORNING HOURS IN THAT NORTHEAST WIND AT 5 TO 10MPH. WEEKEND PLANNER NOT TOO EARLY TO START TALKING ABOUT THAT SINCE IT’S ALREADY MIDWEEK. A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE MORNING ON FRIDAY, BETTER CHANCE OF STRONGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY WITH A HIGH OF 87. THAT PAVES THE WAY FOR 83 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. COOLER WEATHER. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE A LITTLE STRONGER FROM ABOUT THE KANSAS CITY METRO. FARTHER OUT TO THE WEST ON SATURDAY. SOME OF THOSE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH. WE’RE ALREADY PROBABLY GOING TO CALL IT AN IMPACT DAY FOR YOU. EXCLUSIVE FIRST ALERT, NINE DAY FORECAST. AS I MENTIONED, THINGS COOLED DOWN QUITE A BIT. 67 TO 83 DEGREES ON SUNDAY 62 TO 81. SHUT OFF THE AC, LEAVE THE CEILING, FAN OFF, 82 ON TUESDAY AND WE DON’T REALLY WARM UP RAPIDLY AT ALL. STAYING IN THE LOWER 80S FOR THE REST OF THE NINE DAY FORECAST AND THE MORNING TEMPERATURE IS
