Hail to quarter size and heavy rainfall possible. A supercell or two is also possible with larger hail with some stronger upper winds today than yesterday. Then later tonight a Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCS) is forecast to move in from Nebraska. Will carry highest chances across south central sections then blend smaller chances west. Severe storms are not expected later tonight, except for some strong winds to 50 mph and small hail, lots of lightning and areas of heavy rainfall. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s. For Wednesday, upper level northwest flow will continue with a cold front near the Oklahoma border. Will carry 20 to 30 percent chances wtih the better chances south and east of Dodge City. South winds shift to the east and northeast with a cold front. Highs look to be from the upper 80s near and east of Dodge City with mid 90s for parts of southwest Kansas. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 323 PM CDT Tue Jun 28 2016 For the period of Wednesday Night into next Tuesday, an active northwest flow pattern continues into Thursday then begins to flatten out with more shortwaves into Sunday. By Monday and into Tuesday chances for rainfall become less as any jet stream features shift north. Areas of thunderstorms are forecast daily with the best chances mainly in the evenings and overnights into Sunday. Highs will be cooler, with mainly lower to mid 80s into Sunday, then warming to around 90 to 95 on Monday and Tuesday.
