After a few rainy days, Kansas City is going back to hot and humid conditions.

Highs will reach the 90s both Saturday and Sunday, with lows dipping to the lower 70s.

Saturday's heat index will likely rise up to 100, and on Sunday, it could reach 105.

Monday looks like it will be about the same.

We'll remain in the 90s until the middle of next week.

On Wednesday, we'll have a big pattern change. Temperatures will push back into the 80s for highs with a chance for rain and storms again.
