DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BREEZY
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
THESE WINDS WILL HELP TO KEEP MINIMUMS MILD WITH VALUES IN THE
50S TO 60S.
GULF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT IN ACROSS SOUTHWEST
KANSAS. BY MIDWEEK, FORECAST PWATS ARE EXPECTED TO BE OVER 1".
THIS MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. PRETTY MUCH EVERY ENSEMBLE MEMBER FROM
BOTH THE GEFS AND ENS HAVE VARIOUS QPF AMOUNTS ACROSS THE
STATE. THERE IS NOT GOOD AGREEMENT WHERE THE HEAVIER AXIS OF
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL. AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHLY VARIABLE SINCE
WE WILL BE DEALING WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THE LREF IS
SHOWING NEAR 100% PROBABILITY OF RAIN AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 0.25"
FOR THE WEEK. UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE FAIRLY WEAK FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK, SO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SEEM UNLIKELY. THERE COULD BE
STRONG STORMS THOUGH WITH SOME MARGINAL WIND AND HAIL THREATS.
BUT THE MAIN STORY IS THAT WE WILL FINALLY GET A SHOT AT MUCH
NEEDED RAIN.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES, SEASONAL HIGHS (70S TO 80S) AND MILD LOWS
(50S TO 60S) ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
