.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 251 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

A minor upper level trough is currently moving through western
Kansas, with the stronger dynamics centered off to the north of our
CWA.  There is a cold front in the vicinity from Hays to north of
Syracuse in Hamilton County as of 20z.  A dry-line has formed and
was from approximately Liberal to Garden City to Hill City at 20z.
There was a lower level wave which moved up from the Texas Panhandle
earlier this afternoon, which shoved the dry-line northeastward into
the cold front, causing the cold front to bow northward in the Ness
City/Hays area.  This dry-line intrusion into the cold front also
slowed the progress of the front to the southeast.  A fairly good
amount of mid to high level clouds covered most of the CWA at 20z,
and a single storm formed near Scott City between 19Z and 20Z.  The
short term models of the RUC, HRRR and ARW all backed off on a solid
line of storms forming along the dry-line this afternoon, but rather
a patchy line of storms.  There will still probably be a few
isolated severe storms with quarter size hail, but do not think the
severe storms will be widespread or very big hail (quarters).  Will
monitor SPC for a Watch.

Overnight, the precipitation band from this afternoon should move
east, with another surface low moving up from Oklahoma into the P28
area.  The aforementioned front will progress southeast through our
CWA and be near a Pratt to Coldwater line by 12Z in the morning.
Therefore, with greater moisture available in the southeast zones,
will increase Pops there toward 12Z, and then spread the Pops back
to the northwest during the day Thursday.  SPC's Day2 outlook has
about our southeast 1/3rd of the CWA in a slight risk.  We will be
cooler in the afternoon, with the cold front south of us.  Have to
agree with SPC's assessment though, with the NAM model showing 3700
J/Kg of MuCape in our eastern zones, and 24 to 27Kts of bulk shear
in that same zone Tuesday at 21Z.  There will likely be some more
severe storms, again with Quarters to a little larger hail.  The TOR
threat looks minimal, but some 60kt winds could easily mix down.

As for Max/Min temperatures, I did not change anything.  Lows
tonight will be elevated in the 60F (NW) to 72F (SE) range.  On
Thursday, it will be cooler with maximum temperatures ranging from
the mid 80s north of I-70 and upper 80s down south along the
Oklahoma border.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 346 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

The mid to upper level flow will become zonal by later this week and
into the weekend. This will allow for lee troughing and a dryline situated
across far western Kansas. Afternoon and early nighttime
thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. But in the absence of upslope
flow this far south, and with the lack of low level baroclinicity
and a well defined upper level jet, organized thunderstorm
activity will probably stay farther north through Saturday. High
temperatures will be in the lower 90s through Saturday with lows
mainly in the 60s. Thunderstorm chances are higher by late Sunday
as a weak shortwave trough embedded in zonal flow traverses
western Kansas. Organized thunderstorm activity is possible into
Monday with this feature, along with cooler temperatures by
Monday. Thunderstorm chances may diminish by late Monday and
Tuesday as weak surface high pressure builds into western Kansas.
However, by late Tuesday and into mid to late next week, there
will be more opportunities for thunderstorms as westerly to
northwesterly mid to high level flow persists, along with weak
capping and plentiful low level moisture. High temperatures will
be held down by cloud cover and convective debris.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
ISSUED AT 617 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

Will carry VCTS at the Garden City, Dodge City and Hays TAF sites
for a few hours this evening as widely scattered thunderstorms
move through central and parts of southwest Kansas. The
thunderstorm activity should be ending after 03-04z. Winds should
remain gusty to around 25 knots from the south until late tonight.
A cold front will drop south across the area Thursday morning.
Winds could become gusty to 10 to 20 knots for a short time behind
the front but should diminish and become easterly during the day.
