Discussion... 


Tonight through Friday night... 


Main concern in short term is cold frontal passage and convective 
chances. 


Cold front very near kstj-kmhk-ksln line right now. Movement is slow 
and front is fairly shallow. Associated lift is producing a cumulus 
field. Expect enough surface heating in the next few hours to help 
initiate surface-based convection. With degree of 
instability...severe storms possible with a hail and wind threat. 


As front passes expect much drier air to infiltrate the region. 
Temperatures will rise nicely tomorrow but with much lower dewpoints 
it will be more comfortable. 


Long term...did not make large changes to the extended periods 
Sat-thurs. Kept the weekend dry...however will need to watch 
western counties in the overnight hours as low level jet kicks in each night 
and overruns the remnant frontal boundary in western Kansas. 
Conditions continue into Monday as trough over the western US moves 
through the Great Basin into The Rockies. By Tuesday...as trough 
lifts into the upper Midwest...it is prognosticated to send a frontal 
boundary into Kansas sometime during the late day Tuesday or early 
Wednesday. Have highest chance probability of precipitation this time period. GFS quick to shunt 
probability of precipitation south...however with westerly flow likely inhibiting 
southern progress will keep slt chance probability of precipitation for Wednesday. 
Dropped temperatures a few degrees Wednesday and Thursday with potential increase 
in clouds and precipitation. 67

Aviation... 


For 18z taf issuance...main concern with this set of tafs will be 
cold frontal passage and potential for thunderstorms along and 
just behind this front. Tafs will reflect a 21 to 23 UTC frontal 
passage time. Convection is noted behind the front in 
Nebraska...and this trend is reflected in the tafs. Other than an 
MVFR period with the thunderstorms...VFR will prevail with winds 
switching to the north before 00 UTC.

Top watches/warnings/advisories...none.
