.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016

A weak upper level trough was situated across the western plains
today; and ample low to mid level tropical moisture was in place.
A weak frontal boundary was situated across southern Kansas. South
of this front from Pratt and Ashland southward, temperatures were
in the lower 90s with dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s,
along with moderate surface based CAPE values. Sunshine
was increasing even north of this boundary as far north as Dodge
City. However, on the cool side of the boundary, convective
inhibition was stronger.

A strong shortwave trough over the northern Rockies will progress
rapidly eastward, helping to sweep a cold front through western
Kansas on Friday. Surface high pressure will build into western
Kansas behind the associated cold front by Saturday morning.

Lee troughing will develop Sunday and persist into Monday ahead
of the next strong upper level trough digging into the Rockies.
Meanwhile, a northern stream upper level trough will push another
cold front through western Kansas by late Monday. The upper
level trough over the Rockies is expected to slow down and
close off by Tuesday, and then only slowly meander eastward toward
the high plains by next Thursday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016

Thunderstorms are expected to develop along the aforementioned
surface front this afternoon and then propagate southeastward
through this evening. The best chance of storms will be
in the counties bordering Oklahoma. These storms may be marginally
severe with hail as large as quarters and wind gusts to 60 mph.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop along a cold front
Friday afternoon, with the best chances along a corridor
from Larned to Medicine Lodge where the front will be
arriving after peak daytime heating. These storms may also be
marginally severe with hail as large as quarter size and wind
gusts to 60 mph. Lows tonight are expected to be in the
60s to lower 70s. Highs Friday should reach into the lower 90s
well ahead of the front in south central Kansas, with mid 80s
near Scott City where the front will arrive a little earlier.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016

Cooler temperatures can be expected in the wake of the front
Saturday with lows in the lower to middle 50s and highs in the
mid to upper 70s. Warmer highs in the 80s can be expected for
Sunday and Monday as lee troughing develops along with south
winds. There is a chance of thunderstorms along and ahead of the
next cold front from Monday afternoon into early Tuesday. Much cooler
air will arrive in the wake of the front by Tuesday. Cloudy and
cool weather can be expected mid to late next week as upper level
troughing slowly moves across the Rockies and surface high
pressure wedges southward ahead of the trough. Elevated showers
and thunderstorms are possible in the cool air over southwestern
Kansas Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1200 AM CDT Fri Sep 9 2016

Overnight convection should remain southeast of the terminals. The next
chance for storms will be tomorrow night, although this activity might
miss the terminals again. Patchy fog and lower vis will be possible
tomorrow morning, particularly for KHYS and KGCK. KDDC is less known
and will be monitored. IFR conditions possible with this. Improvement
back to VFR is expected late morning. A front will move across the terminals
tomorrow with winds veering S to N and increasing 15-25 kt post-frontal.
