Just wild how much rain we picked up since yesterday afternoon. Rain icons on the map are actual reports of 8-9”. Pink is estimated 5”+, blue is 7”+, up to that red spot north of Gardner at 10”+. Just under 5” at KCI since yesterday! FOX4 News Kansas City #KCwx

There were parts of JOCO KS that had over 10" of rain in ~12 hours...how rare is that? It's a 1 in 500 year type of event or a .2% chance of happening in any given year. JL #flood #fox4kc #kcwx #kswx

Happy Saturday! After a drier day yesterday after the flooding, the forecast continues to slowly dry out. Today may still have some AM/midday clouds & showers, potentially slowing down the heating process. Similar cloud/rain issues Sunday & Monday before higher heat. FOX4 News Kansas City

Kansas City is still on the edge of the heat dome which is positioned over the Deep South. That allows scattered "ridge rider" storms to still impact parts of our region Sunday & Monday before the high moves overhead & temps climb. FOX4 News Kansas City #KCwx #MOwx #KSwx

10 AM FEELS LIKE -- I mentioned on-air that there will be breaks in the clouds, allowing the heat index to flare up at times today. That's happening now south of I-70 with more sunshine. It's already nasty down there! 100-105° feels like temps are possible for some today! FOX4 News Kansas City
