DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 233 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS
NORTHWEST KANSAS WHERE MID-LEVEL WAA WAS PRESENT. A STRAY SHOWER OR
STORM MAY BRUSH PARTS OF CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS BUT THE MORE MEANINGFUL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. THE PERSISTENT SFC TROUGH
AXIS BISECTING WESTERN KANSAS MAY MOVE SLIGHTLY CLOSER TOWARDS
OUR FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY AS THE MID/UPPER RIDGE TRANSLATES
EASTWARD BUT THE FOCUS FOR ANY ISOLATED STORM ACTIVITY IS STILL
EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. AS WE MOVE INTO
WED-THU, RISING HEIGHTS ARE PROGGED AS THE MID/UPPER RIDGE
BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA LEADING TO A CONTINUATION OF
HOT AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE AREA. TEMPERATURES MAY BEGIN TO
TREND UP ONCE AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE RIDGE AMPLIFIES
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS LEADING TO A CONTINUATION OF HOT,
BREEZY AND DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1221 PM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE PROBABLE AT ALL TAF SITES THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
A NEARLY STALLED WEAK FRONTAL ZONE MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH FOCUS FOR
AN EXTREMELY ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF RSL, BUT SUSPECT CAPPING WILL
PROVE STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT THIS ACTIVITY.
ICT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
