.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Sun Mar 10 2019

Water vapor imagery shows sharp upper trough digging just off of
the southern CA coast with a large fetch of mid/upper moisture
extending from west of southern Baja and across the southern
Plains. At the surface, high pressure is centered over northeast
KS/southeast Nebraska with a stationary front down across
southeast TX.

Showers affecting southern and central OK will remain south of the
area tonight. This area of precip is the result of strong mid
level theta-e advection.

Not much is expected to change tonight into Mon morning with
surface high centered over IA with an upper wave tracking over the
southern Great Lakes region. Still looks like light rain chances
will gradually increase on Mon, but did slow the eastward
progression, holding off on most areas until late afternoon. Still
decent model agreement in 850-600mb moisture transport ramping up
Mon night which will result in light rain becoming widespread. By
12z Tue, powerful shortwave will be tracking over Baja and
approaching Desert Southwest/Sonora. Meanwhile over the southern
Plains, a broad area of moisture advection will remain in place
with at least scattered showers around most of the day Tue.
Confidence is still high that the Tue night into Wed morning time
frame is our best chance for heavy rainfall as the shortwave goes
negative tilt as it approaches the southern Plains. This will
setup a tremendous amount of upper diffluence along with strong
mid level moisture transport. PW values still look to be in the
250-275% above normal range. At this point it's tough to pin down
which locations will see the most rainfall as there isn't a well
defined surface front to focus activity. However, with PW values
that high, confidence is high that someone will pick up well over
an inch of rain which will likely cause some flooding.

We will continue to see some precip and strong winds on the
backside of this system as it lifts off to the northeast Wed night.
Not out of the question to see some snow showers work in Wed
night into Thu morning over central KS.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Sun Mar 10 2019

Confidence is high that below normal temps will overspread the
area Thu and Fri, as highs remain generally in the 40s. Normal
highs for this time of year are in the mid to upper 50s. Should
continue to also see some light precip on the backside of this
system as some upper energy continues to dive down the western
edge of the trough. Below normal temps look to continue for the
start of the weekend as a broad area of high pressure encompasses
the Plains.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 641 PM CDT Sun Mar 10 2019

Light easterly winds will become southeast while remaining light
across the area on Monday. Expect ceilings to gradually lower as
we move through the day, possibly becoming MVFR across portions of
central KS. The better chances for light rain and reduced flight
categories should arrive after this 24-hour period.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 319 PM CDT Sun Mar 10 2019

Fire weather concerns are expected to remain on the low side for
Mon and Tue but will increase for Wed as strong winds are expected
for both Wed and Wed night. However widespread rainfall, some
possibly heavy, will likely keep the fire threat in check even
with strong winds.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for most of Central, South-Central
and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

The Cow Creek will rise tonight near Hutchinson and should reach
action stage by early Monday morning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

The Cow Creek will continue to rise from Monday thru early Wednesday
morning around Hutchinson. The river is forecast to crest very close
to the flood stage of 9.5 feet Monday night. If you live near the
Cow Creek in Hutchinson you should monitor river forecasts closely.

Rain is expected to overspread the area Monday night and the
potential for flooding is increasing especially from Tuesday evening
until Wednesday evening, as embedded thunderstorms with heavy rain
are still anticipated. You should monitor forecasts closely as the
chances for flood watches being issued are increasing.

Southerly winds will increase to 30 to 35 mph in most areas on
Wednesday into Wednesday night with gusts that'll likely reach 40 to
45 mph. The strong winds will cause a very high grassland fire
danger in nearly all areas.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight.
