.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night)
Issued at 332 AM CDT Wed Jun 30 2021

With no change in airmass, expect shower and storm activity to
continue across the area today through early tomorrow. As has been
said over the last few days, these highly anomalous PWs across the
region will allow for pockets of locally heavy rainfall which could
result in minor flooding. The main upper trough over Canada will
shift southeast across the Great Lakes region tonight through
tomorrow which will shunt the the remnant boundary and attendant
anomalous PWs south of the area by tomorrow afternoon. We will
finally begin to dry out area wide tomorrow afternoon. Temp wise,
expect another day of of upper 70s and low 80s temps today with a
slight warm up trend beginning tomorrow.

Of note for today, it is looking a bit more interesting compared to
recent days as far as convective activity goes. MLCAPE of
1200-1500 (RAP, up to 2000 MLCAPE for the southern row of
counties) is set to overspread south central and southeast KS this
afternoon and evening which could lead to a few rowdy diurnally
driven storms. The main limiting factor to even more robust storms
is the 20kts of bulk shear. A few gusts to 50 mph and dime to
nickel size hail will be possible with the strongest storms.
Additionally, wouldn't be surprised to see a few funnels out there
again today with the strongest of updrafts given 100-150J/kg
3CAPE expected along with subtle MCVs likely moving through the
area again today.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 332 AM CDT Wed Jun 30 2021

By late Friday, models are in very good agreement that a deep mid
level low will be set up over the eastern Great Lakes region while
an amplified ridge hangs over south central Canada and the Dakotas.
The mid level low is set to move toward New England while the
upper ridging expands across the mid and western CONUS through the
weekend. High pressure looks to settle over the Middle
Mississippi Valley by Sunday. Much drier conditions are expected
with temps warming into the upper 80s and low 90s by Sunday.

The start of next week looks a little unsettled with small
chances of storms expected Monday through Wednesday as subtle
waves move through more zonal flow overhead. Near normal temps of
upper 80s and low 90s are expected through the end of the period.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 632 AM CDT Wed Jun 30 2021

Main aviation concerns will continue to be shower and storm
chances along with low clouds this morning.

Persistent showers and isolated storms have been ongoing the last
several hours generally along and east of the KS Turnpike. The
stronger showers and storms will bring heavy rain that will
briefly lower visibility to less than a miles. KICT and KCNU will
have the best chance to see the more intense rain today as
850-700mb moisture transport remains in place.

MVFR with pockets of IFR clouds developed a few hours ago across
most of the area and these conditions will continue for at least a
few more hours. KICT will have the greatest chance to see these
lower ceilings linger into the early afternoon hours.
