SUMMARY: Yesterday saw the hottest temperatures so far this year, reaching 96°F at KCI and 99°F downtown Kansas City, marking the longest wait since 2010 to hit 95°F+. Today will be hot but slightly cooler with possible storms. Relief from the heat and humidity is expected as a cool air mass moves in, bringing highs in the 75-80°F range and lower humidity through the weekend.
