121 AM CDT Fri Jul 7 2023

...updated discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 111 AM CDT Fri Jul 7 2023

Early this morning, there was scattered storms across the Kansas prairie.
Some of these storms have been severe, but overall, the severe weather
impacts previously forecast have not been as impactful as expected.
Anyway, these storms will move E/SE as the morning continues and should
be gone towards 12Z. On a related note, the atmosphere will be been
pretty worked over through much of the day. It remains to be seen if
the atmosphere will be recharged or not by this afternoon into the
evening. As such, am a little dubious on seeing much storm activity
this afternoon and evening. The main exception to this might end up
near the Oklahoma border, where isolated storms may develop this afternoon
and evening. Overall impacts will be marginal to perhaps low end severe,
but the main impact will be heavy rainfall for those under a storm.
Otherwise, temperatures will be quite pleasant today with values in
the upper 70s to lower 80s. Get out and enjoy it because this is obviously
cooler than normal for the beginning of July. For Saturday, a much
drier forecast is expected. Much of the day will remain storm free.
If there were to be any storms, it would be across the western zones
with upslope flow induced storms coming out of Colorado. Very pleasant
highs are expected again on Saturday with values in the mid 70s to
around 80F.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 111 AM CDT Fri Jul 7 2023

Pretty much a carbon copy of Saturday weather is expected Sunday. Mainly
dry with pleasant temperatures continuing. Heading into the next business
week, a gradual warm up is expected. Highs on Monday will inch closer
to normal with values in the upper 80s. Storm chances looks isolated
at best with much of the FA remaining dry. By Tuesday, the ridge across
the Desert Southwest moves every so slightly east. This should help
temperatures rebound back in the 90s. More of the same is expected
for the rest of the extended period with seasonally warm to hot highs
and small percentage points for any storm activity.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1111 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2023

The main change of the TAFs was to shift west and slow the movement
of the thunderstorm complex through the overnight. Based off radar
and some other parameters, it looks likely that the storms will mainly
impact the western terminals through the morning. This is particularly
true at KGCK and KLBL. KDDC might be on the eastern edge of the storm
complex. KHYS now stands at seeing the least impacts from the storms.
Otherwise, some MVFR cigs associated with residual moisture expected
in the morning. Winds SE-S 5-15 kt except gusty/variable in
storms.
