KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The tense weather moment eased tonight: the Tornado Watch has come to an end, and storms are expected to drift out of the eastern counties around midnight. After that, the rest of the night should stay dry.
Even with the watch canceled, it’s not like the sky is completely harmless. Misryoum newsroom reporting says the remaining storm threats are mostly strong winds and hail, with a very low tornado threat. Around late-night, Douglas and Franklin counties are still under a Flood Warning until 12:30 AM, while Cass, Johnson, and Miami counties have Flood Warning coverage until 4 AM Tuesday.
For residents getting ready for bed, conditions are fairly straightforward: partly cloudy skies hang around, but the air stays breezy. Lows tonight land in the upper 60s—around 68 degrees—which is warm enough to tie the record warmest low temperature from 2006. You know those moments when you step outside and it feels too mild for the calendar? That’s kind of the vibe, even before the next surge of weather starts brewing.
Then Tuesday hits. Misryoum editorial desk noted that the First Warn setup is warm and breezy at first, but clouds build through the afternoon as storm chances rise again. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a 2/5 severe risk—meaning storms could fire up in Kansas and blow our way by late afternoon into the night, mainly between 6 pm and midnight. It’s not certain storms will pop, but if they do, the headline threats are hail and severe winds, with a possibility of a few brief tornadoes.
What many people will care about is the timing and the numbers: Misryoum newsroom reporting puts the chance of rain and severe storms at 60%, mainly late in the day through the night. Highs Tuesday are expected to surge into the upper 80s, with southwest gusts up to 30 mph. If you’re outside late, it’s the kind of day where watching the horizon—then checking the radar again—won’t feel like overkill.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a second wave after Tuesday. Misryoum analysis indicates another round of severe storms could impact the region Wednesday, depending on whether Tuesday’s storms fully clear out first. The risk again is level 2/5, with hail and wind the primary threats, and a 60% chance of rain and storms. Spotty to scattered rain and storms could also show up in the morning hours—if that happens, it may slightly affect chances later.
Thursday then looks like a breather: Misryoum editorial team stated it’ll be dry, sunny, and warm with temperatures climbing back into the mid 80s, and no storms on the forecast. But Friday brings the next “First Warn” moment—storm chances back with a line possible late in the day into the night, level 2/5 risk if storms are strong to severe, and wind and hail as the primary threats. After all that, the weekend cool-down looks real: Saturday may start with lingering rain (40%), but it clears quickly and stays mostly dry, with highs in the upper 50s Saturday and mid-60s Sunday and breezy northwest winds. The atmosphere is basically doing a quick cycle—warm, loud, calmer, then warm again—so keeping alerts handy might be the safest habit, even when it feels like the weather is finally done.
