KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Scattered showers and weak thunderstorms remain this morning as temperatures hover in the upper 30s and lower 40s. The rain itself is expected to transition east by late this morning and a dryer pattern will take over in doing so wind gusts will come mainly out of the northwest between 20 to 25 mph. This will limit the temperature rising into the 50s and middle 40s to upper 40s will be more common along with feel-like temperatures in the lower 40s.
However, as high-pressure strengthens and centers over southern Manitoba, Canada, a dryer pattern will sink through the central plains, providing clear skies for the weekend with an opportunity for warmer air to be introduced from the south. Temperatures are still expected to rise into the lower and middle 50s Saturday, but will still come with wind gusts up to 25 mph.
