.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 244 PM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017

Early this afternoon, a frontal boundary was oriented southwest to
northeast across the CWA bisecting roughly from Ottawa to northern
Jackson county.  This frontal boundary will be the focus for storms
this afternoon and evening as a mid level shortwave sweeps across
the Central Plains.  While a cap remains in place most of the
afternoon, models do show an erosion late afternoon which would
allow for quick storm initation and intensification.  A highly
unstable atmosphere is in place with CAPE over 4000 J/kg and shear
values between 35-45 knots.  This would allow for storms to quickly
turn severe with supercells possible during initial development.
With steep lapse rates above the current EML, large hail and
damaging winds would be the main hazard with any storms, although an
isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out.  Some hi-res guidance
suggests storms will develop in northern MO and build into
northeastern KS this afternoon.  Initial singular cells may begin to
form clusters as time goes on with some bowing segments within these
clusters.  If this occurred, the wind risk would be greatly
enhanced.  Location wise, the best chances for severe convection
looks to be along and south of I-70.  Storms will advance southeast
through the night, although post frontal showers and storms will be
possible through the early morning hours.  After tonight, dry
conditions can be expected with surface high pressure moving
directly over Kansas by tomorrow afternoon.

Temperatures this afternoon have been steadily rising into the low
90s, with mid to upper 90s expected as highs.  With dewpoints in the
70s, heat indicies look on track to reach between 100-110 degrees
across the entire area, with the hottest indices in east central
Kansas.  A heat advisory will remain in effect until 7PM this
evening for portions of the area. With the frontal passage in store
this evening, cooler temperatures can be expected tomorrow
along with less oppressive dewpoints.  Highs tomorrow look to top
out in the low 80s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 244 PM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017

Sunday night through Tuesday, an upper level trough will amplify
across the eastern conus and keep the central plains in
northwesterly flow aloft. Expect drier and cooler weather with
Highs on Monday in the mid 80s and highs on Tuesday in the upper
80s to lower 90s.

Tuesday night through Saturday, the mid and upper level flow will
become more zonal and a lee surface trough will deepen across the
high plains. Southerly low-level winds will advect deeper
moisture northward. Minor shortwave troughs embedded within the
zonal mid level flow may provide enough ascent for isolated to
scattered thunderstorms through the period. Highs will warm into
the mid to upper 90s Wednesday through Friday, and heat indices
once again may reach advisory criteria. A slightly stronger upper
trough will move across the northern and central plains on Friday
and will cause a surface cold front to push southward across the
CWA Friday night. Saturday may be cooler and drier if the front
can push southward into OK before becoming stationary. Highs on
Saturday may only reach the mid to upper 80s.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 642 PM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017

Currently, the near term for the 00Z TAFs are in the frontal zone
for the near term. Complicating factors with storm initiation are
becoming more clear. Bottom line is as further development takes
place, amendments will be likely. For now have left VCTS for
storms as the best placements may just be south of the terminals.
Do see another round of showers and storms coming into the
terminals overnight.
