.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 312 AM CDT Mon Jun 29 2026

Current water vapor imagery and RAP analysis highlight a mid/upper
low situated over the Northern Intermountain as ridging continues
over Ohio River Valley and Great Lakes. At the surface, a deepening
low in northeast Colorado has promoted continued gusty south winds
across the forecast area. A dryline spans from this low southward
into the Oklahoma Panhandle.

TEMPERATURES/WINDS:

Increasing heights and thicknesses from upper ridging across the
eastern CONUS will promote warm temperatures across the region today
with highs once again in the low to upper 90s. Dewpoints near/above
70 degrees areawide by this afternoon will combine with this heat to
result in heat index values in the 100-105 degree range this
afternoon into the early evening. Theta-e advection in the low/mid
levels is expected to promote increased cloud coverage for Tuesday
and Wednesday which will keep highs and associated heat indices a
bit lower than previously anticipated (near/below 100). Heat index
values in excess of 100 degrees will then return to south central
and southeast Kansas beginning Thursday and lasting through the end
of the week. Highest values to this point appear likely to reside in
southeast Kansas where dewpoints in the low to middle 70s will
persist.

Regarding winds, a tightened surface pressure gradient arising from
continued lee troughing will promote gusty south winds across the
area through week's end. This afternoon's setup appears similar to
that of Sunday's, with sustained winds around 20-30 mph and gusts in
the 35-40 mph range likely especially across portions of central and
south central Kansas. Gusty south winds will likely last through the
end of the week with little anticipated change to the surface
pattern.

RAIN CHANCES:

Latest guidance continues to indicate embedded ripples in mid/upper
flow that will allow for isolated to scattered shower and
thunderstorm chances across portions of central Kansas (generally
west of K-14) during the evening hours tonight, Tuesday, and
Wednesday. Per the prior discussion, inverted-v soundings indicate
the potential for a handful of strong wind gusts later this evening
should activity manage to develop. On the whole, however, capping
concerns raise doubts about extent of coverage this far east over
the next several days. Better rain chances to this point appear to
our west where convergence along the aforementioned dryline may
allow for storm development. As such, still thinking most of the
area will remain dry through the end of the week.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 557 AM CDT Mon Jun 29 2026

VFR conditions are expected to prevail at all terminals through the
end of the period.

LLWS at 1.5 kft this morning is anticipated to dissipate by 14Z.
Otherwise, primary impact for the period will be strong south winds
sustained near/above 20kts and gusts in excess of 30 kts. These
should die down slightly after 00Z, though LLWS will return to all
terminals by 03Z as the LLJ picks back up this evening.
