THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS WITH MLCAPES 2500-3000 J/KG...HIGHEST

ACTIVITY.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...FINAL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WHICH WILL
NOT ONLY PUSH THE FRONT FURTHER SOUTH...BUT WILL ALSO PUSH THE
PRECIPITATION AREA FURTHER SOUTH WITH TIME AS WELL. WITH A MORE
PROGRESSIVE THIS MODEL RUN...HAVE REMOVED POPS FROM MUCH OF THE
NORTH CENTRAL FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT CONTINUED THE CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE
OVERNIGHT...BUT APPEARS THE BETTER CHANCES WILL BE BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
DO NOT EXPECT THE RAINFALL TO BE HEAVY EITHER. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT
CHANCE IN THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL KANSAS. ALTHOUGH

.SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE SFC RIDGE THAT BUILDS
SOUTH INTO THE CWA INTO SATURDAY WILL BEGIN TO RETREAT TO THE EAST
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL FOR ALLOW FOR
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CWA. WITH
THE 850 WAA AND MORE SUNSHINE...SHOULD SEE HIGHS RISE BACK INTO THE
UPPER 80S NORTHEAST TO LOWER 90S SOUTHWEST CWA. AS A NEW WESTERN
U.S. TROUGH DEVELOPS...HEIGHT RISES WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY WITH
WARM TEMPS CONTINUING ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AND NO
TRIGGER FOR CONVECTION. WILL THEREFORE KEEP FCST DRY SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY WITH WARMER TEMPS. WILL GO WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE
90S ALL AREAS MONDAY.

AND BEGINS TO FLATTEN THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS PUSH A COLD FRONT
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CWA LATE TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA DURING THE DAY...THEN
ELSEWHERE OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. AS THE UPPER TROUGH THEN
AMPLIFIES OVER THE GREAT LAKES THE CWA WILL TRANSITION INTO
NORTHWEST FLOW. WILL GO DRY FOR THURSDAY AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA AND MAIN MOISTURE FIELD IS PUSHED
WESTWARD INTO THE HIGH PLAINS.
