KDDC WSR-88D IS SHOWING A LINE OF NON-SEVERE SHOWERS AND STORMS
ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS TODAY. THIS LINE WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT
CYCLONICALLY ACROSS THE FA AND WILL PROVIDE MANY LOCATIONS WITH
MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL. ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE
AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OTHERWISE, A MILD NIGHT IS
EXPECTED WITH LOWS IN THE 50S TO 60S. THE AREA OF PRECIPITATION
AXIS SHIFTS TO THE EAST ON THURSDAY. THIS IS INDICATED IN BOTH
THE GEFS AND THE ENS. HIGHS TOMORROW SHOULD PEAK IN THE 70S WITH
LOWS IN THE 50S TO 60S. ONCE AGAIN, THE HIGHEST POPS FOR
THURSDAY WILL BE CONFINED TO THE EASTERN ZONES. FOR THE WEEKEND,
THE NBM HAS THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE EAST. THIS IS IN AGREEMENT
WITH SEVERAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS FROM THE GEFS AND THE ENS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE WESTERN ZONES WILL LIKELY END UP ON THE DRY
SIDE. HIGHS OVER THE WEEKEND WILL BE IN THE 80S WITH LOWS IN THE
50S TO 60S. FOR THE NEXT BUSINESS WEEK, LONG RANGE MODELS AND
THEIR ENSEMBLE COUNTERPARTS ARE INDICATING THE PASSAGE OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROF ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN
AN INCREASING COVERAGE OF POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FA. THE PASSAGE
OF THE WAVE LOOKS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE BUSINESS
WEEK PER THE GEFS AND ENS. OTHERWISE, HIGHS WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN SEASONABLE WITH VALUES IN THE 80S AND MILD LOWS IN THE
50S AND 60S.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 554 PM CDT WED MAY 27 2026
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE DDC, GCK, HYS, AND
LBL TERMINALS THROUGH TONIGHT. INITIALLY FOR THIS EVENING...A
BAND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF
AN UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE. THESE STORMS WILL BRING OCCASIONAL
MVFR VISIBILITY AND CEILING VALUES. HOWEVER, DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS EASTERLY WINDS AND ASSOCIATED UPSLOPE WILL ALSO
RESULT IN IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY VALUES ALONG WITH
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS. THE AREA WILL THEN GRADUALLY SEE CONDITIONS
DRY WITH MVFR TO VFR CEILINGS BY NOON ON THURSDAY AS THE UPPER
TROUGH LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA.
DDC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
