NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 28, 5:23 AM CST, 3 hours 2 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 623 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Storms are expected this morning over southern/southeast Kansas with another round of storms this afternoon/tonight for mainly southeast Kansas - Showers and storms look to become more numerous for Sunday night as a frontal boundary pushes southward across Kansas - Most areas look to remain dry for Monday-Thursday next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 204 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Low level moisture transport looks to increase early this morning across northeast Oklahoma which should spark off scattered to numerous showers/storms. Some of this activity will spread north into southern/southeast Kansas before daybreak, and linger over southeast Kansas through the morning hours. A few storms could redevelop later this afternoon/evening over north central Oklahoma and drift northeast into parts of south central Kansas. Otherwise the better area tonight for showers/storms to redevelop will be over eastern Kansas into western Missouri as low level jet/moisture transport is focused in that location. Once again not expecting severe weather due to wind shear being rather weak. Heading into Sunday temperatures will warm even more especially over central Kansas where upper 90s are likely. A surface frontal boundary will push slowly southward from Nebraska into Kansas with scattered to numerous storms developing along the front. This activity will spread southeast across Kansas with a few of the stronger storms capable of torrential downpours and downburst winds up to 60mph due to high DCAPE values. The frontal boundary will continue to push slowly southward into Oklahoma on Monday and this could be accelerated due to convective cold pools from Sunday nights activity. Most of the area should be dry on Monday in the wake of the frontal passage although there is a small chance for a few storms over far southeast Kansas. The weather pattern looks dry for most areas Tuesday-Thursday as upper level ridging builds over the region. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 617 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Low clouds in LIFR category have developed over parts of central Kansas early this morning. Meanwhile numerous showers and storms were moving slowly northeast across southeast Kansas. Severe weather is not expected but some of the stronger storms could produce heavy rainfall. The storms over southeast Kansas will slowly decrease and shift eastward into Missouri later this morning. Another round of showers and storms are expected to redevelop later tonight across southeast Kansas. && .ICT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && DISCUSSION...CDJ AVIATION...CDJ
