While there is a 30 percent of showers and storms this afternoon, storms are more likely tonight and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
The chance of storms increases to 70 percent tonight, mainly after 1 a.m., and then to 90 percent on Saturday. However, the worst of the storms may be south of the Kansas City area.
Friday’s high is expected to be 83 degrees, with winds of around 7 mph.
The National Weather Service stated that the threat of severe thunderstorms looks to be very low at this time for far eastern Kansas and northern Missouri on Saturday, and is focused in areas to the west and south, particularly central Kansas into southern Missouri.
Storms are possible tonight through Tuesday, the weather service said. Some of this activity could produce torrential rain, which would lead to additional flooding across the area.
Rainfall could top 2 to 4 inches through the weekend in the region and could lead to flooding, the weather service said.
