.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021

Satellite depicts a busy pattern across the area for July, as the
upper ridge holds over the Great Basin and a longwave trof drops
southward into the central US. Surface front associated with this
trof is a bit diffuse in observation data, but radar and satellite
suggest the boundary has moved into the far southern CWA. Showers
and thunderstorms are beginning to redevelop along the front, as
the leading side of the upper wave drops southward across the
state. CAPE in the column recovers into the 1500-3k range through
the afternoon, with low level shear a bit less organized but
effective shear in the column more respectable in the 35-45 kt
range. Next piece of energy rotates into the state from the north
this afternoon and into the evening hours, bringing with it cooler
temperatures aloft, boosting instability and CAPE, and bringing
another round of storms into the area as already evident in
eastern Nebraska. These storms will also have the potential to
produce heavy rainfall if they can train over the same areas,
although the system itself will likely keep the storms moving
quickly to the southeast. Wind and hail will be the primary
hazards.

Some showers may linger into the overnight hours as the cold pool
and upper trof axis moves overhead, but otherwise Sunday is
shaping up to be on the cool side of normal with highs in the 70s
and northerly winds through the day. Upper trof is then slow to
move off to the east, and could wrap a few showers back around the
west side into our area on Monday, but cooler temperatures
continue with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Overall pattern becomes more zonal mid to late week, moderating
temperatures more near normal, and leaving the frontal boundary
draped across the central US and as a focal point for periodic
rain chances. A stronger shortwave trof is forecast to move
through the flow late week into next weekend, and potentially
increasing rain chances late in the forecast period.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 624 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021

A broken line of storms will progress through the Topeka terminals
over the next hour or two. A brief reduction of VSBY is possible,
otherwise VFR conditions should prevail through the evening before
MVFR stratus overspreads the area. In addition, scattered showers
will be possible overnight. CIGS should scatter near midday with
showers ending as well.
