...UPDATE TO LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 1252 PM CDT Thu May 11 2017

A few rain showers and an embedded thunderstorm or two may linger
across central and south central Kansas this evening as a closed
upper low shifts eastward across extreme northern Oklahoma early in
the period. Otherwise, drier condtions will take hold later tonight
and continue through late Friday afternoon as short range models
indicate the closed low turning and dipping southeast into the
Ark-La-Tex Region, giving way to a weakening northerly flow aloft
while drier air in the lower levels filters southward into the high
plains. Skies will begin to slowly scatter out later tonight allowing
temperatures to drop well into the 40s(F) by daybreak Friday morning
as cooler air associated with a surface high moves into the region.
For Friday, the general air mass across the high plains will be slow
to erode as surface high pressure pushes slowly east across Kansas
allowing only slight warming of H85 temperatures. Clearing skies
should allow highs to climb into the lower to mid 70s(F) by mid to
late afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 145 PM CDT Thu May 11 2017

A drier period will persist across western Kansas through the weekend
as upper level ridging moves out of the Rockies into the high plains
Friday, and further east into the Central Plains Saturday and Sunday.
A prevailing weak flow aloft and a lack of moisture/instability will
keep precip chances at bay through early Monday. Precip chances return
late Monday as a southwest flow aloft develops across the Western High
Plains downstream of an upper level trough projected to push ashore
into southern California. A strengthening southwest flow aloft combined
with a modest return flow ahead of a dryline may set the stage for
thunderstorm development both Monday and Tuesday afternoon/evening.

A warming trend will persist through the weekend and into early
next week as a prevailing southerly flow continues to draw warmer
air into the high plains of western Kansas. Highs are expected up
into the 80s(F) Saturday afternoon and potentially pushing into
the 90s(F) Sunday/Monday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Thu May 11 2017

IFR cigs will slowly improve to MVFR in the vicinity of KGCK and
KDDC through late this afternoon as the prevailing stratus layer
lifts. Meanwhile, MVFR cigs are expected to persist at KHYS during
the afternoon. Periods of light rain/drizzle may reduce visbys as
well. VFR conditions will return to all TAF sites later this evening
as the stratus deck slowly scatters out west to east. General north
winds 15 to 25kt will persist across western Kansas through early this
evening as a surface high drops southward across the high plains of
eastern Colorado. Winds are expected to subside later this evening
as the surface high drops further south into northeast New Mexico.
