Another wave of steamy summertime heat and hit-or-miss storms is on the way to the Kansas City area, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures in the metro will begin their warm-up, climbing back to the mid-80s on Tuesday, a few degrees warmer than the 82 degrees on Monday.

Kansas City’s temperatures typically are around 89 degrees this time of year.

Then the sweltering heat and high humidity will ramp up for the second half of the week, as temperatures climb in the low to mid-90s, the weather service said.

Southerly winds will usher in moisture from the Gulf, with the muggy air fueling a stretch of sticky, uncomfortable days. The weather service said heat index values are expected to climb into the upper 90s to near 100 degrees in the metro.
