.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 200 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026

This Morning:
Radar and satellite capture the extent of a mature thunderstorm
complex tracking through south central KS early this morning.
This mature MCS has a well established cold pool with several
severe wind gust reports of 60 to 70 mph in its wake. A brief
mesoanalysis suggests this complex to follow an eastward
trajectory into portions of southeast KS and west
central/southwest MO, entering the area by 4 to 5 am this
morning. As it progresses eastward towards our area, it will
work to overcome some CIN, following along an instability
gradient aligned east- southeast into southeast KS. CAMs have
struggled to capture the full extent of this mature complex this
morning, with mesoscale trends supporting it's maintenance into
at least the western counties of our coverage area. For this
reason, SPC has coordinated a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for this
area along and west of Interstate 49 early this morning.
Primary hazard will be damaging wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph. The
mesovortex/brief tornado potential becomes much less favorable
into our area, with 0-3km line normal shear 20 knots or less to
the northeast. Overall, the general trend towards sunrise should
be a weakening trending with the complex into our area, as it
eventually pulls a bit more northward as a warm front surges
into northern MO. Localized heavy rainfall may accompany the
passage of the morning complex, with a few instances of flash
flooding possible in areas where training occurs.

This Afternoon-Tonight:
CAMs suggest the morning complex weakens and/or decays as it
sweeps through the area. The timing of this complex's passage
will play an important role in the mesoscale setup this
afternoon. Expect temperatures to push towards the middle to
upper 80s by early afternoon as strong low-level warm air
advection overspreads the area. Gusty southwest winds of 25 to
35 mph can be expected today with dewpoints reaching into the
lower 70s. A quicker dissipation or passage of the morning
complex would support better atmosphere recovery by early
afternoon, while a slower solution may inhibit convection
initiation to later this evening along existing outflow
boundaries. Current trends would suggest a scenario to play out
somewhere in the middle, with convection redeveloping by mid to
late afternoon. The environment will favor supercell development
initially, with deep layer shear around 30 to 40 knots in the
vicinity of ample instability (MUCAPE 2000-2500+ J/kg). Steep
mid-level lapse rates in this setup suggests initial supercells
to pose a large hail threat, up to golf balls. Furthermore,
sufficient DCAPE would support damaging wind gusts of 60 to 70
mph. As for the low-level environment, it supports a few
tornadoes, particularly along boundaries in the area this
afternoon. Initial supercell storm mode may quickly become
clusters and/or segments as coverage increases with a gradual
southeast progression through the area. Expect scattered strong
to severe thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening. SPC
captures this severe potential with a Slight (2 of 5) severe
risk across the entire area today through tonight.

As we progress into tonight, a secondary shortwave overspreads
the area with the approach of a cold front. This would support
further thunderstorm development in a rich moist environment.
PWATs upwards of 1.8 to 2.0 inches will support efficient
rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per a hour as multiple rounds of
thunderstorms track over the same areas. This will further
amplify the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding
through this evening and tonight. A widespread 1 to 3 inches
remains in the forecast, with HREF and REFS LPMMs depicting
localized corridors of up to 5 inches. Given the setup, WPC has
maintained a Moderate (3 of 4) risk for flashing flooding across
portions of the area. A Flood Watch is in effect through Monday
morning to capture the increasing potential in flash flooding
through tonight. This of particular concern given antecedent
conditions, with elevated streamflows and saturated soils.

It is worth noting, there is still lingering uncertainties on
exactly how today/tonight play out, as mesoscale trends will
dictate the outcomes of each round of thunderstorms. The
eventual cold front is progged to clear through the area into
Monday morning, with a lingering severe and flooding potential
overnight tonight. Behind the frontal passage, cooler and drier
weather overspread the area for remainder of Monday. Highs in
the middle to upper 70s/near 80.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 200 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026

Tuesday-Saturday:
As we progress into Tuesday and beyond, northwest flow develops
with transient shortwaves through the pattern. This will bring
additional chances for showers and thunderstorms, especially
into southern MO as a frontal boundary stalls south of the area.
While these are not expected to be all day washouts, there is
support for scattered shower and thunderstorms each day this
week. The highest chances (30-60%) are currently depicted by the
NBM on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a bit lower chances (30-50%)
Thursday through Saturday. This pattern will be accompanied by
cooler temperatures with highs in the lower 80s. There is still
some timing and location differences across the suite of
ensemble guidance that will be best captured in future forecast
updates.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 555 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026

A few rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through
the TAF period as a system moves through the area, with an
eventual frontal passage tonight. MVFR to some IFR flight
conditions accompany this activity as a result of reduced
visibilities to 2 to 4 miles at times, in addition to ceilings
as low as 2500 to 5000 feet. A few instances of further
visibility and ceiling reductions may occur within heavier
thunderstorms. There is still some lingering uncertainty with
how this morning complex will impact convection initiation and
coverage this afternoon into this evening. Gusty southwest winds
today, sustained at 10 to 15 knots, with gusts of 20 to 30
knots. Winds become more westerly ahead of the front passage
tonight, before turning out of the north.
