WEATHER BLOG: Boom or bust storms to impact Thursday along with excessive heat
If thunderstorms develop, they could quickly become severe, with the potential to produce very large hail and damaging wind. The Kansas City skyline is expected to be warmer and more humid than yesterday, with temperatures expected to reach up to 105 degrees. The First Alert Weather Impact Day will be held on Thursday for excessive heat and evening thunderstorms. This could be the first official 90 degree day of the year, potentially marking the first time since 2005 that could see a significant 90 degree degree day. The weather team is warning for thunderstorms late Thursday afternoon and evening, which could quickly become severe. The most likely time for these thunderstorms to develop is after sunset. Heat and humidity are expected to continue to build ahead of a potential First Alert Day for excessive weather conditions. Make sure that children are drinking plenty of water and keeping pets well-hydrated and plenty of cool water.
