KANSAS CITY, MO — Another unseasonably warm and windy day is in store for the Kansas City metro area, with gusts up to 35 mph and highs in the mid to upper 80s Sunday before overnight storms move in across eastern Kansas and western Missouri.
Breezy Conditions And Fire Risk Sunday
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, strong southerly winds combined with dry grass and low humidity could create marginal fire weather concerns, particularly in open fields and rural agricultural zones.
Residents are urged to use caution when burning debris or operating equipment outdoors, as gusty winds can cause flames to spread quickly.
Storms Move In Overnight

The heaviest rainfall is expected between midnight and 7 a.m. Monday, with isolated downpours and lightning possible. Although no severe weather is forecast, some storms could bring brief gusty winds and localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Cooler, More Humid Start To The Week
As the system pushes east Monday morning, winds will gradually ease, leaving behind cooler, more humid air for the start of the new week. Temperatures will drop back into the 70s with a mix of sun and clouds through midweek.
