Tracking weekend t-storm chances

A warm, dry, and windy Friday will give way to rain and thunderstorm chances across Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas by Saturday evening. A few storms may be severe through Saturday night before garden variety shower and thunderstorm chances linger on Sunday, with cooler air moving into the region. 

Clouds will increase Friday night with overnight lows falling into the upper 50s to low 60s and southerly breezes of 15 to 25 mph. Conditions will remain dry through Saturday morning, with a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. Highs will reach the mid to upper 70s Saturday, with southerly breezes of 15 to 25 mph through the day.

Rain and thunderstorms will become more numerous after 6 PM Saturday. Sizable hail and damaging wind gusts will be possible with any storms that develop Saturday night.

Cloud cover and rain chances will remain on Sunday, although the severe threat will shift east of the region. Cooler air will spill into the area through the day Sunday, bringing afternoon highs to the low to mid 50s.
