Step Outside KC
Kansas City begins clear and turns hot. Expect sun, a high near 91, east wind around 5 to 9 mph and a clear overnight low near 70. Handle asphalt errands early and carry water.
Last Night in the Metro
The final World Cup weekend closed with a reported 25,000-person Fan Fest crowd and the end of 18 days of free concerts. Regional team owners are discussing the tournament’s long-term effect on Kansas City soccer.
Roads, Ramps & Wrecks
RideKC lists construction reroutes at 14th and Holmes, U.S. 71 at Bannister Road and along the I-70 improvement corridor. Troost MAX and Routes 18, 23, 27 and 29 are among the affected services.

From the Stands
The MLB All-Star Game begins tonight at 7 p.m. Central on FOX. KC Current hosts San Diego Wave FC Friday, July 17, at 7 p.m. at CPKC Stadium.
A Grain of Rice
Tuesday asks for less ceremony and better timing. Do the outdoor task first. Save heavier decisions for later in the day.
KC Lunch Line
Mildred’s Crossroads is open 7 a.m.–4 p.m.; South Plaza and 9th Street are open 7 a.m.–3 p.m. Baba’s Pantry is open Tuesday 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
KC Without a Cover
The Nelson-Atkins is closed indoors Tuesday, but the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park remains free from sunrise to sundown. Go early or near evening and take water.
From AVIA AREE
Touch the soil before adding water. Soak thoroughly when dry, empty standing saucers and move tender containers out of the hardest afternoon sun.

Closing Line
Kansas City has its weekday streets back. By noon, they will be hot enough to prove it. The barricades are stacked. The sun is already on the brick.
