.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

...Significant Severe Weather Episode This Afternoon/Evening...

WFO DDC is preparing for severe weather operations early this
afternoon. Nearly full insolation has heated a very moist boundary
layer through midday, with mesoanalysis of up to 6000 J/kg SBCAPE
in SW KS. Shear has modestly improved, with effective bulk shear
to near 35 kts. As NWly flow aloft increases this afternoon, and
an embedded shortwave/associated forcing for ascent arrives,
explosive thunderstorm development is expected. Convection will
fire quickly across the northern zones by 3 pm. Have coordinated
with SPC on the upgrade to moderate risk probability. HRRR has
shown strong consistency with storms quickly organizing into a
severe squall line, and then marching out of the SE zones around
10 pm. Damaging winds are likely with this squall line, with gusts
of 60-70 mph common. Some gusts to near hurricane force may occur,
given a linear configuration and tremendous CAPE axis. Large hail
will be focused across the initial northern storms. That said,
will be watching for discrete supercell development on the tail
end of the squall line (tail end Charlie) or just ahead of the
squall line. If a discrete supercell can be maintained through 5-7
pm, then giant hail and a tornado risk would occur. There is some
CAM consensus that this threat would focus on the Dodge-Garden-
Liberal triangle vicinity 5-7 pm. MCS will clear the SE zones by
midnight, with all zones dry after midnight. There is some
potential for another round of convection amid the continued NW
flow aloft Monday afternoon/evening, but much of the atmosphere
will be strongly worked over through tonight. As such, any
thunderstorms Monday PM will likely favor the Oklahoma border
region, where reasonable instability will have the best
opportunity to reload.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 125 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

Weak disturbances will continue to move down through the northwest
flow aloft through at least the late part of the week. This will
bring a chance of storms across portions of western Kansas in the
late afternoon to evening hours. Otherwise expect partly cloudy
skies and winds generally from a southerly direction. As for
temperatures, highs will start out in the mid 80s Tuesday with low
to mid 90s for the remainder of the long term period.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

Thunderstorms will develop this afternoon east of GCK and LBL
creating periods of MVFR ceilings and visibilities. These storms
will then slide southeast as the evening progresses. Winds this
afternoon will generally be from the south to southeast gusting
above 20 knots at times. Winds then decrease this evening into the
overnight with the exception of near the storms where higher gusts
will be possible.
