Area Forecast Discussion

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Hot Saturday with a strong evening fropa

- Much cooler and pleasant Sunday

- Warm to hot business week

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1122 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Today will be a hot one with highs mainly in the 90s. Low 100s
will be possible along the lower terrain of south central
Kansas. In fact, a heat advisory is in effect for Barber county,
where the combination of heat and humidity will result in a heat
index of around 105F. Otherwise, a prefrontal trof will prevail
across the region during the day time. Behind this trof, a
strong front is expected to traverse the region during the later
afternoon to early evening period. Winds will shift north to
northeast behind this front but will be southwesterly ahead of
it along the trof. Otherwise, an upper level wave will move
across the Northern Plains. This feature along with the front
could spark off some storms. There is somewhat of a consensus in
the CAMs and global models to keep the storms mainly across the
southern zones. This is reflected in the NBM pops with the
highest values along and south of Highway 50. Forecast
skew-t/log-p's do suggest some of the storms could be strong to
severe. Damaging winds and some large hail would be the main
threats, in addition to heavy rainfall. Otherwise, the rest of
the FA will remain dry tonight. Lows heading into Sunday morning
will be cooler as drier air advects in from the north.

Sunday will be as near as a perfect weather day as you are going
to get in June. Highs only in the 70s, low humidity, and light
winds. Get out and enjoy it as the next business week is going
to trend much hotter and b e more typical of weather in the
month of June.

For Monday onward, the long range models and their ensemble
counterparts suggest mid level ridging across the western half
of the United States. This would support the notion of a dry
forecast and very warm to hot temperatures prevailing for much
of the week. The hottest day forecast is Wednesday. Low 100s
looks likely. In fact, the Grand Ensemble is showing about a 30%
probability of highs greater than 100F Wednesday. Something to
watch and would bet that those probabilities increase as
Wednesday draws near. Beyond Wednesday, the ENS does hint at the
possibility of storms returning to the forecast by Friday evening.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1122 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Winds will be light SE 5-10 kt through the overnight. A
prefrontal trof is expected to prevail tomorrow morning with
winds shifting SW 15-20 kt with gusts around 25 kt. A strong
fropa is expected during the evening with winds shifting N to NE
around 20-25 kt with gusts around 30-35 kt through the end of
the TAF pd. Storms will be possible tomorrow evening, however,
confidence is too low in terms of spatial extent to include in
the TAFs for now.
