The primary focus in the near term will be on the potential for
strong to severe storms and possible flash flood issues this
afternoon/evening. The focus will then shift to dangerous heat
concerns that will ramp up Wednesday, and especially Thursday as
highs approach triple digits.

Showers with embedded thunderstorms ongoing overnight across
portions of NE/KS/MO/IA with upper low rotating along the NE/IA
border. Low level water vapor imagery showing quite a bit of dry air
entrainment into the system and this should help with steepening
mid-level lapse rates later today. A secondary cold front will
work into the area this morning and stall across central Missouri
(west-to-east) by this afternoon as the upper low lifts north
into the southern Great Lakes. This front will be the primary
focus for convection today with several rounds of thunderstorms
possible. The early morning line of showers and thunderstorms
currently working through the KC metro will continue to progress
eastward through the morning hours. Models seem to be fairly
consistent with scattered storms developing across eastern Kansas
and west-central Missouri by 18Z with a weak vort max rounding
the trough. This activity will move off to the south and east
fairly quickly. Another round of convection is possible this
evening and continuing into the overnight hours as LLJ increases
over the stalled front.

A warm, moist low-level airmass will be in place across the area
today and allow for moderate instability of 2500-3500 J/kg. With
upper low lifting north, the primary lifting mechanism will be tied
to a few vorticity maxes that will rotate around the southern
periphery of the low today and tonight. Severe threat will be
focused near the stalled frontal boundary as bulk shear values
climb into the 30-40 kt range. The LLJ will be nearly parallel to
the orientation of the boundary and while we may see some
supercellular structures early on, storms should quickly form a
line and push south with time with primary severe threat of wind
and hail. Decent moisture transport overriding the front and PWAT
values of 1.5 to nearly 2 inches indicate that areas along the
frontal boundary could see several inches of rain in short order
creating flash flooding concerns...especially is several rounds
of storms move over the same area.

Showers and thunderstorms may be ongoing early Wednesday morning,
but should quickly dissipate as they push southeastward. Then comes
the heat concerns. Depending on the extent of ongoing convection and
residual cloud cover Wednesday morning may have a slight impact on
temperatures through the day. However, will broad ridge building
over the Central Plains and moderate return flow by afternoon...we
may be able to recover. Thursday definitely looks hot and humid
with thermal ridge axis draped over the region and 850 mb
temperatures of 24 to 28 C. This may be our warmest day this year
with several areas already looking to top out in the low 100s.
Heat indices will easily reach 100 to 105 degrees for much of the
forecast area, and will likely see many locations reaching 105 to
110 degrees. Hot temperatures will continue into the weekend with
decent warm air advection occurring ahead of a cold front that is
progged to move through late in the weekend. This front will also
be our next best chance for precipitation.

.Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday Morning)
Issued at 643 AM CDT TUE JUN 26 2018

Scattered showers with embedded thunderstorms ongoing this morning
with MVFR/VFR cigs and MVFR vsby as they move through. This
activity will shift south through the morning hours. The terminals
should see a brief break in activity before expected afternoon
convection initiates. However, placement of where the next round
will initiate is still a bit uncertain and could impact the
terminals or develop just south of the terminals MCI/MKC/IXD. STJ
should remain dry after 15-16Z. If terminals are impacted by
afternoon activity...they could see some gusty to strong winds
move through.
