.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 358 AM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING:

Numerous thunderstorms are impacting mainly southern Kansas
early this morning, along/north of a stout instability gradient,
ahead of a potent upper trough approaching from the
west-northwest. Given current radar trends, thinking the
greatest threat for marginally severe hail and 60-70 mph will
be over far southern Kansas through about sunrise or a few hours
after. Additionally, pockets of heavy rainfall will support new
flooding issues and continued aggravation of ongoing flooding.
Thinking the heavy rainfall will exit to the east early this
morning, so will likely expire the flood watch at its normal
7am expiration time.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT:

One final chance for scattered thunderstorms arrives Sunday
afternoon through Sunday night, mainly along/south of Highway
56, as a strong cold front drives south across the region.
Modest deep layer shear coupled with strong instability
could support additional strong to severe thunderstorms,
along with areas of heavy rainfall and continued flooding
concerns. Stay tuned as we refine forecast details in the
coming days.

MONDAY INTO NEXT WEEK:

Model consensus supports a dry weather pattern Monday through
Wednesday, as surface high pressure builds south into Mid-America.
Thereafter, returning moisture may support low thunderstorm
chances returning by Wednesday night. Flow aloft looks quite
weak, so at first glance the threat for severe storms appears low.

LATE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND:

Building thickness coupled with evapotranspiration and associated
increased humidity could support increased high heat and humidity
concerns as we head closer to next weekend. Guidance supports
daytime highs in the 80s and 90s, with dewpoints in the 70s.
This combination would support increasing potential for triple
digit heat indices. Stay tuned.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1241 AM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

A line of showers and storms will march eastward across
the region during the overnight hours. A few of the storms
could produce brief periods of heavy rainfall and reduced
visibilities. Otherwise the line of storms is expected to
push east of southeast Kansas by daybreak. Some low clouds
will fill in behind the line of storms and should quickly
scatter out by mid to late morning with light westerly winds
through the day.
