Building near downtown Sedalia ‘in state of collapse,' city says
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A vacant building near downtown Sedalia is 'in a state of collapse,' prompting the city to close part of the street and sidewalk.
The city of Sedalia warned residents in Facebook posts Wednesday that eastbound traffic on West Main Street near Kentucky Avenue would be closed due to 'structural concerns' at 207 W. Main St.

The building has been in disrepair for months, but the city said recent storms have caused damage.
The city said it called on a licensed structural engineer to conduct an initial inspection of the building, which was completed by Wednesday afternoon. The engineer found that the building requires 'immediate and extreme' repairs or may face demolition.
The city said it is expecting to receive a full report from the engineer within two weeks, but based on initial findings, it plans to pursue a court order to have the building demolished.
It said it is working with an attorney representing the property owners.
'Our responsibility is to protect the public. We're following all legal and safety protocols to address this situation quickly and carefully,' the city said in a statement. 'Further updates will be provided as formal documentation is received and next steps are confirmed.'

Hot and dry weather this weekend
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Rain ends, sun breaks out Saturday afternoon
We have a rainy start to Saturday as a cold front and low pressure system works through the region, but have no fear! The weekend does not look like a wash out! By afternoon our winds will begin to shift to the Northwest allowing for dry air to filter in from the west leaving us with a partly sunny finish to the day. There could be an isolated spot shower or two working southeast during the afternoon, otherwise temperatures climb to the middle and upper 70's. We are watching for some additional wildfire smoke to pass through the region, especially close to the ground, leaving to unhealthy air quality especially in the counties highlighted in gray! Sunday features partly to mostly sunny skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 70's Have a great weekend! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
