Area Forecast Discussion

...updated aviation...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

Convection continues to bloom across the high plains of eastern Colorado
this afternoon. This is the main focus for tonight's weather. A resultant
small complex of storms is expected to march across the Kansas prairie
later tonight. Convective outflows of 50-60 mph will be the main hazard
with this activity. 3 km NAM is an outlier compared to NMMB/ARW/EC,
so this model was tossed out. Otherwise, lows heading into Sunday morning
will be in the 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

Attention the turns to Sunday for impacting weather. A large 500-hPa
trof will swing out with a much stronger 250-hPa jet impacting the
state of Kansas. This will set the stage for severe thunderstorms tomorrow
afternoon and evening. In addition, PWATs greater than 1.50" spells
out the concern for heavy rainfall and flooding. This is particularly
true late Sunday evening as 900 to 700-hPa waa strengthens.

Forecasting hazards other than flooding for tomorrow is difficult.
Much depends on where the mesoscale boundaries will reside. The small
complex moving across the area in the short term period will undoubtedly
impact hazards for tomorrow. Meso models show that the convective model
tomorrow could potentially be messy with HPish supercells. Forecast
soundings also suggest this with backing upper level winds, which typically
always favors HPs. Forecast LHP values start out as high then quickly
decreases tomorrow evening as these upper level winds back. Think that
water loading associated with the high PWAT environment could potentially
keep hail size down. Will go with 1.5 to 2.5" hail for now. A bigger
threat other than hail tomorrow is convective outflows of 70-80 mph.
The BL should be pretty mixed tomorrow, particularly within/near the
warm sector. Cannot rule out an isolated tornado tomorrow, however,
low level shear does not look that great as far as tornadoes are concerned.

The rest of the forecast was left as is with fb pops and temps.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 555 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

Storms continue to develop across E Colorado and NW Kansas. As a result,
have added VCTS/CB groups for KDDC/KGCK later this evening. +TSRA will
still be possible tomorrow afternoon and evening, although there is
some uncertainty. MVFR cigs will be possible in the morning as moisture
continues to stream in. VFR conditions are expected thereafter minus
the second round of storms.
