.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 241 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017

Water vapor imagery currently shows a shortwave trough extending
from the western Great Lakes into the mid Mississippi Valley. An
impulse is diving across western IA/northern MO and developing
storms over central MO. Looks to be a weak surface front/trough
laid out across southern Nebraska with a few storms developing
along this feature over south central/sw Nebraska.

Storms over southern Nebraska should continue tracking south and
with minimal capping, should make it into northern KS but have
low confidence on how far south they will make it. NW flow aloft
is providing great directional shear which will result in large
hail being the main threat for any storms this evening. Feel there
is also a chance for a few elevated showers and storms after 09z
for our western flank where a decent mid level baroclinic zone
will be situated. Even though elevated instability is not that
great, given the amount of directional shear, can't rule out some
large hail if storms can develop.

Return flow and lee troughing will strengthen during the day Tue
as shortwave energy moves from the Pacific Northwest into the
northern Rockies. This will lift the front and better storm
chances to the north of the forecast area. Should be a fairly
large MCS tracking out of the central/northern Plains Tue night
and into the central Mississippi Valley. Some of this activity may
try and build back into northeast KS, but with decent elevated
capping in place, confidence in how far west this makes it is very
low.

Pattern will remain active across the Plains Wed as the front gets
pushed south along with the better mid and upper flow. Storms will
likely first develop along the front over IA/northern MO and build
sw into KS during the late afternoon and especially early evening
hours Wed. Convergence this far west along the front isn't that
great, so not expecting widespread storms, but can't rule out a
few strong to severe storms over central KS.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 241 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017

Pattern will remain active for Thu into Fri as the surface
boundary lingers across the area. The exact location of this
feature will likely be determined by how overnight convection
each night affects its position. Large scale ascent will also be
on the increase Thu into Thu night as robust shortwave energy
tracks out of the northern Rockies and into the central Plains. So
once again expecting storms to develop Thu afternoon/early
evening along the front with activity developing into an MCS
overnight, with eastern KS/MO looking like the most likely areas
affected. Thu night MCS should push the front south, into northern
OK/far southern KS for Fri. This is where best storm chances will
be for Fri into Fri night.

Confidence in convective chances and location drops off
significantly for the weekend. However, tough to go completely
dry as mid/upper flow remains fairly strong with a low level
baroclinic zone still lingering around.

The good news with the pattern remaining active is that an upper
ridge never gets to take hold, which means temps will remain close
to or slightly below normal for this time of year.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1231 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017

Isolated storms may develop along an outflow boundary over east-
central Kansas late this afternoon, and along a weak, southward
moving cold front sliding southward to near I-70 by 23 UTC. A few
terminal may be affected if storms develop, however will only
carry VCTS for a few hours.

Winds will become light east-northeasterly behind the stalling,
southward moving front tonight. This may lead to a brief period of
MVFR/IFR ceilings at the RSL and GBD terminals during the early
morning hours, with a better signal for IFR ceilings just to the
northwest.
