...Updated Aviation Section...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sun Jun 24 2018

Morning convection has zapped any instability and the atmosphere has
been pretty worked over. As a result, the chances of severe weather
is much lower. We are still expecting some evening storms, however.
This activity could be marginally severe with wind and hail threats
along with heavy rainfall. Otherwise, lows tonight will be in the 50s
and 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sun Jun 24 2018

Storm chances will be very low during the extended period. A longwave
ridge will build over the Central Plains. Highs next week look to be
hot and in the upper 90s to around 100. Mild lows in the 60s and 70s
will prevail during this typical Summer pattern.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 625 PM CDT Sun Jun 24 2018

A large thunderstorm complex will affect all terminals through
this TAF period. The best time frame for most terminals will be
0230 to 0600 UTC. Very strong winds at or above 45 knot gusts will
be likely with these storms. After the storm complex pushes
through, there will still be a couple hours of trailing-stratiform
region precipitation with infrequent lightning and variable winds.
Winds should settle in the 0900-1200 UTC time frame and eventually
become westerly. West winds will prevail during the day Monday at
12 to 15 knots.
