Area Forecast Discussion

251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2022

Currently have a large area of upper high pressure centered over
TX with a compact upper trough approaching the Great Basin. In
addition, water vapor imagery continues to show a mid level
moisture plume, with tropical connection, extending across the
area. At the surface, high dewpoints continue to funnel into
central KS on southeast winds with a low level dry punch extending
from north of KGLD to near KHYS.

Storms are expected to develop later this afternoon over NW KS
and SW Nebraska there loose dryline intersects the better low
level moisture. This will likely be somewhere in the KHLC
vicinity. Any storms that develop will likely persist for several
hours aided by increasing low level jet and persistent 850-700mb
theta-e advection. Will be plenty of CAPE and enough deep layer
shear for severe storms with any of the activity that develops.
Will be a tornado threat generally north of I-70 where deep
southeast winds allow for better low level shear. So highest
storm chances tonight will remain for areas along and north of
I-70.

Main story for Fri will remain the brief return of extreme heat.
Many locations along and west of I-135 will reach or top 100 Fri
afternoon. The only good news is that dewpoints should mix-out in
these same locations which should keep the heat indices from
getting too extreme. Attention will then turn to a significant
cool down by the end of the weekend.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2022

There remains good model agreement in a shortwave trough swinging
across the Northern Plains for Fri night through Sat. This will
allow a cold front to sink south across the Central and Southern
Plains. It is expected to move into our forecast area Sat morning,
moving through Wichita during the late afternoon. While we are not
looking for widespread storms along the front as it surges south,
can't rule out a few storms along it as cap starts to erode Sat
afternoon. May actually see an uptick in storm coverage Sat night
as a few upper impulses track over the Southern/Central Rockies
and out into KS.

The bigger story will finally be some cooler temps. We are still
looking for highs for both Sun and Mon in the upper 70s to around
80 degrees, which is around 10 degrees below normal. Will start to
see temps warm back closer to seasonal normals for Tue as the
surface high shifts east and we get back into some return flow, as
we get back to above normal temps by the end of the work week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1249 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2022

Some lingering showers were draped across south central KS while
the bulk of morning convection has shifted eastward across
northeast KS. Another round of storms is expected to develop
across northern KS possibly impacting our central KS counties late
this afternoon and evening and overnight hours. Maintained a VCTS
mention in the KGBD, KRSL and KSLN TAFs. A strengthening nocturnal
LLJ will result in some LLWS impacting central and south central
KS tonight. MVFR and IFR cigs are possible under the heavier
showers and storms with the highest confidence across portions of
central KS this evening.
