...Aviation Update...

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

The main stories, at least through the weekend, will be the
extreme heat that will recur tomorrow ahead of a cold front, and
the chance for some potentially strong to severe thunderstorms
this evening and again Saturday afternoon and evening. Afterwards,
temperatures will drop to below normal with highs mainly in the
80s Sunday and into next week behind the cold front, with periods
of shower and thunderstorm chances through much of the next week.

Tonight, there is a chance of thunderstorms across the outlook
area, mainly during the evening hours. Convection may develop
along a quasi-stationary front over our north forecast area if we
get enough surface heating, but with the late start to heating due
to earlier showers and thunderstorms, somewhat doubtful that there
will be enough heating to initiate too much there. A little
further south, if we are not too strongly capped, isolated thunderstorms
may develop over north central Kansas west of our coverage area
and then move east. Any storms that do develop can be expected to
move through between roughly 5PM and 10PM, and may produce up to
60 mph wind gusts and hail to the size of quarters.

Saturday, expect one more day of extreme heat with heat indices of
105 to 110 degrees, and a Heat Advisory is in effect for the
entire forecast area from 1PM to 8PM. A cold front moving
southeast across the area will bring a chance of severe
thunderstorms Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Large hail
and damaging wind gusts will be the main threats with these
storms.

Sunday, temperatures will be cooler behind the cold front, which
will still be over central and southern Kansas. Just north of the
front in our outlook area, we can expect more widespread showers
and thunderstorms with probably the best chance so far of some
decent accumulation, most likely centered around the Nebraska-
Kansas border. Temperatures will be much cooler than we have
experienced recently with highs generally in the mid- to upper
80s.

Monday and beyond, there will be periodic chances of showers and
thunderstorms throughout the week. Temperatures will continue to
be below normal with highs mainly in the 70s and 80s.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 00Z Sunday)
Issued at 623 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Models continue to show the potential for marginal LLWS late
tonight into early Sat. morning, and kept that mention going at
both terminal sites. Current SSE winds at the sites are expected
to turn more southerly overnight, then more SSW for the daytime
hours tomorrow. Expecting speeds to increase with time tomorrow,
with gusts of 25-30 MPH possible during the afternoon hours.
