.DISCUSSION...
See aviation.

.AVIATION...
All of our terminals will remain under VFR conditions through the
entire forecast period. Low surface pressure across the Central
High Plains will maintain southerly surface winds, with gusts
increasing through 00Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 443 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2019/

AVIATION...
12Z TAFs - VFR conditions expected this TAF period with some mid
and high clouds moving across the area, although some MVFR clouds
may move into KSPS this morning. Breezy south to southwest winds
expected today.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 300 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2019/

DISCUSSION...
A upper ridge over the region will keep the forecast dry across most
of the area through the rest of the week into the weekend. However,
models show an upper low moving west into the southern Plains that
could allow some showers/storms to develop in SE portions of the fa
over the weekend. This upper system is expected to continue to
slowly move west next week which will gradually break down the upper
ridge. This could lead to a chance for showers/storms across a much
larger or at least other portions of the fa towards the middle of
next week.

With the upper ridge over the region, temperatures are expected to be
hot but around seasonal norms the rest of this week into at least
this weekend.
