Morning storms in KC will bring relief from heat

Though Monday will be a stormy start for Kansas City residents, the storms will make way for a cooler week.

Thunderstorms were expected to last through the afternoon, but no severe threat is expected.

A cold front will follow behind the storms, entering the area in the late afternoon, which will bring relief from the 90s and heat advisories.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Loud rumbles of thunder and heavy rain may wake some of you up this morning! Expect several rounds of these thunderstorms through the morning and afternoon as a cold front slowly makes its way south. Wet roads, some flooding and poor visibility are possible for the commute. pic.twitter.com/iKUb48N8Ud

As storms moved through the area, flooding and poor visibility posed the biggest risk for morning commuters.

As of 6:30 a.m., 350 Evergy customers and 227 Independence Power and Light customers were without power. It is not clear if those outages were connected to the storm.
