Come help those in need before the brutal cold arrives! Come say hi, I’ll be collecting Friday morning.

COOLEST DAY IN WEEKS KC Update Wednesday 11/4/26 - Misty morning, with drizzle in spots up to about lunchtime - Mid-50s makes today the coolest since mid-October! It has been a long stretch of 60s & 70s - Cool fall weather sticks the rest of the week - Cold 30s for morning lows this weekend - Weekend is great! Sunday is outstanding for the Chiefs game - Big bounce back next week, flirting with 70s #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

LINGERING DOWNPOURS TODAY, FALL CHILL AHEAD KC Update Tuesday 11/3/26 - Record rain at KCI this morning (2.01”) - Scattered downpours will still be around today, mixed with dry hours - Voters will want umbrella while waiting in lines, just in case - KC’s best chance is 2-4 pm - A front kicks through at that time, bringing drier, cooler, and breezy conditions this evening - Rest of the week is dry & cool fall weather. Nice stretch - Great weekend, but early tailgaters will be chilly #kcwx #kswx #mowx #chiefs @KCTV5

Forecast: waterfall from the sky mixed with sunshine

TODAY’S TORNADO RISK KC Update Monday 11/2/26 - Storms are likely, severe weather is possible today - Multiple rounds possible 2 pm - 1 am (not that entire time, but within that window) - The highest chance for severe storms is 6 pm - midnight - Level 2/5 Severe Risk due to potential damaging wind gusts and tornadoes - Here’s a video update on the tornado risk #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

SEVERE RISK MONDAY KC Update Sunday 11/1/26 - We expect storms Monday with multiple rounds possible, and there’s a tornado risk - The bulk of the storms will likely be regular ol’ thunderstorms - BUT - we have extra high wind energy about a mile above the ground - This can help the tallest storms spin and produce brief tornadoes - Some of that wind energy can also be dragged down to the ground by heavy rain #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

- Watch for scattered storms for your Friday evening plans - Halloween brings off/on light rain mixed with dry hours. Many plans will be OK, but be flexible. Light rain is possible during trick ‘r treating. No storms or anything heavy - Sunday is the pick weekend day - Heavy rain Monday with strong storms possible - Election Day sees lingering rain. Consider voting early in a drier stretch. There’s a decent chance of being stuck in a voting line stretched outside on Tuesday while it’s raining #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

FRIDAY BRINGS STORMS KC Update Thursday 10/29/26 - Storms are possible for the morning, though KC is on the line. They may hold north - The afternoon is mainly dry in KC, with spotty storms north - Your Friday evening plans could get hit with scattered heavy rain and thunderstorms - A strong storm or two is possible, but the overall severe risk is currently low #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

Business idea: ghost and pumpkin themed ponchos. DM me if you wish to be an angel investor for this once in a lifetime opportunity 👻 #Halloween #kcwx #kswx #mowx

NEW INFO IS IN FOR HALLOWEEN RAIN CHANCES KC Update Wednesday 10/28/26 ✅ Overall, the trend today is better ❌ Rain is still likely at times Saturday ✅ It now looks to split into two rounds, which means dry hours between the rounds ✅ Rain looks rather light ❌ The split is adding complexity, as our computers differ over the timing for each round (as seen below in prime trick ‘r treating time) ➡️ The bottom line is we likely don’t need to cancel plans, but we may need to adjust some of them. Be ready for light rain at times, but we’ll likely be able to get some fun in #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

RAIN LIKELY ON HALLOWEEN KC Update Tuesday 10/27/26 - Widespread rain has shifted from “possible” to “likely” on Saturday - That shift comes from trends in the latest data. Yesterday, our computer forecasts disagreed on if the rain would be over KC area or just miss - Today, the computers snapped into focus and agree on widespread showers over our area - Doesn’t guarantee that placement couldn’t shift again, but the signal for wet weather is stronger now - Good news: it looks light, and we’re likely to mix in some dry hours. Probably not a washout - The big question centers around timing: Will it be raining in the evening for trick ‘r treaters? - Our computers aren’t aligned here yet. Precise details like that will be pinned down next. We’ll know more tomorrow - There’s still a shot that we’ll get Halloween festivities in, but you may wish to consider backups if it’s raining during your plans #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

KEEPING AN EYE ON HALLOWEEN RAIN KC Update Monday 10/26/26 - Rain is possible for Saturday - This isn’t “cancel plans,” but parents may want to be aware the potential for showers is currently 50/50 - Rain looks light in the latest data, but some of our long-range computer forecasts put it right during trick ‘r treating times. Others have it missing just to the east and south - How wet we will be hinges on a pair of compact ripples in the middle atmosphere - Fine details of how these interact and exactly where they track will become more clear each day - Our long-range computer forecasts are good for overall setup, but they struggle with precision - For now, just be aware. We’ll know more in tomorrow’s update #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5

“IS IT PERFECT OR TOO HOT” POLL + FALL FEVER CONTINUES KC Update Friday 10/23/26 - Do you agree with the results? I’m surprised… that’s a vocal 12%! 😂 - Whatever your preference, we’re toe-to-toe with late-May on our temps through the weekend - Low humidity & good deal of sun - Our cool air next week is changing track, now just brushing us as it glides north - Cooler, but no big fall blast - Scattered light rain chances next week - Halloween sneak peek: rain chance & warm (mid-upper 60s) #kcwx #kswx #mowx @KCTV5
