After a stretch of extreme heat, Kansas City is getting a break as cooler air moves in. The wind shift to the north is also helping reduce wildfire smoke and haze, and humidity has calmed down.
On Wednesday, temperatures cool further, with a forecast high in the mid-80s. The pattern then turns more changeable later this week: Thursday and Friday are marked as “Impact Days” because rain and storm chances are expected to move in, with daytime highs only reaching the upper 70s to near 80.
KMBC 9 notes that conditions may affect morning plans depending on when rain impacts the area, so drivers and commuters may want to check forecasts closer to travel time.
