.DISCUSSION...

PRECIPITATION:
TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...Will likely see a few isolated
showers/thunderstorms across portions of central and eastern Kansas
today through Tuesday, especially during the afternoon and early
evening hours, as a moist/unstable and uncapped airmass remains in
place across the region, and large scale ascent persists ahead of an
upper trough digging over the western CONUS. Most locations will
remain dry. Widespread severe weather is unlikely given rather weak
deep layer shear, although moderate to strong instability may
support isolated instances of small hail, 50-60 mph winds, and heavy
rainfall.
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND...A deep upper trough
wobbling slowly east-southeast through Mid-America will support off-
and-on scattered to numerous showers/thunderstorms across the region
late Tuesday night through at least Friday, although some of the
latest guidance supports rain chances continuing through the
weekend. While an isolated marginally severe thunderstorm or two is
possible throughout this time period, most activity should remain
below severe levels, although locally heavy rainfall and potential
flooding concerns are possible. Stay tuned as refine forecast
details in the coming days.
TEMPERATURES:
Seasonably warm temperatures look to persist today and Tuesday, with
forecast highs in the mid 80s to low 90s. From Wednesday through
next weekend, increased precipitation chances and decreasing
atmospheric thickness will likely support a modest cool down, with
many locations in the 70s to low 80s for daytime highs.

will linger near CNU through the early morning time frame with
minimal impacts. Southerly winds will increase to around 10
knots for this afternoon. Spotty afternoon convection is
possible for south-central and southeastern Kansas, but still
significant uncertainty on coverage and timing so did not
