Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
655 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Highlights:

1) Afternoon/evening severe thunderstorms possible

2) Less humid for Saturday & Sunday with highs around 90 degrees

Challenges and changes: Very near term with convective track and
respective timing

Tonight:
Storms will be going at start of period, per mesoscale discussion.
With anticipated cold pool causing storms to surge faster than most
models, have precipitation ending earlier than previous forecast.
There is some potential for lingering or additional development
behind the line with arrival of cooler air aloft, but progressive
nature of the system makes that less likely. Did keep some small
chances lingering in far southeast KS throughout the night. Went a
bit cooler in southeast KS based on cooling associated with the
storms. -Howerton

Saturday through Monday night:
A ridge will build in for the western half of the CONUS for the
weekend into next week essentially shoving the low pressure system
to the north. This ridge is expected to bring record heat along
the Rockies/Interior West and Desert Southwest while simply
keeping the Plains with above seasonal normal temperatures. High
temperatures are forecast to stay around 90 degrees for the
weekend. It will be warm but less humid than today and yesterday
thanks to drier air moving in. Highs on Monday will rise into the
low to mid 90s.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Highlights:

1) Temperatures in the 90s

2) Dry

The ridge will stay in place through the week which will keep a dry
forecast. There is a short wave that is expected to move on shore
over the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday then track eastward across
Canada. This system will transition to a southeasterly track and
could bring a front through at the end of next week (Thursday)
depending on which model you believe. At this time, the forecast
indicates minimal if any impacts from this frontal passage again
if/when it occurs. Temperatures should stay in the 90s throughout.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 652 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Widely scattered showers and storms continue to develop within the
warm sector across south central Kansas with more widespread
activity into southeast Kansas. The biggest threat with any storm
that develops will be damaging downburst winds of 70-80 mph. A
cold front was bisecting south central Kansas this evening and
this front will continue moving slowly southward clearing the area
by late evening. Winds in the wake of the front will shift to the
northeast and drier air will eventually filter over the area with
VFR returning from north to south.
