After a quiet weekend, the Kansas City area is set up for a comfortable start to the week. Monday is expected to bring sunshine, light winds, and relatively low humidity, with a high around 89 degrees—slightly above the seasonal average.
That relief won’t last long. Beginning Tuesday, a longer stretch of summer heat is expected to move in, with highs in the lower 90s Tuesday and climbing into the middle 90s by the end of the workweek. Heat index values are forecast to approach near 100 degrees later as humidity and warmth build.
Conditions are expected to stay mostly dry through the week. A slight chance of a spotty shower is mentioned for Thursday, while sunshine is expected to dominate otherwise through next weekend. Additional isolated showers could return early the following week, but temperatures are still projected to remain above average in the lower 90s.
