.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 254 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024

TODAY--WEDNESDAY...Quiet weather is expected today and tonight. For
Tuesday, a weak surface trough approaching from the northwest,
emanating from shortwave energy traversing the northern CONUS, could
be a focus for a few showers/thunderstorms over mainly the northern
half of Kansas. A rather marginal combination of instability and
deep layer shear should preclude severe weather. With atmospheric
thickness and southerly flow increasing, temperatures will be
warming the next few days, reaching the 90s for most by Wednesday.

THURSDAY--NEXT MONDAY...This period will feature mostly above
average temperatures, with periodic chances for thunderstorms.
Thinking thunderstorm chances will be confined to mainly the
northern and western halves of Kansas. Thursday night through early
Friday chances will be focused in vicinity of a stalling frontal
zone approaching from the north, with Saturday and Sunday chances as
a result of an upper trough approaching from the west. The overall
potential for organized severe weather appears low at this time
given rather weak forcing and only modest at best shear, although a
few locally strong to severe storms are possible. The primary
threats would likely be isolated occurrences of damaging winds and
marginally severe hail.
