.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 208 AM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

The higher precipitable water axis will remain over southern Kansas
and east of the Kansas Turnpike today where shower/storm chances
will continue into tonight. Shear aloft remains on the weak side and
is expected to remain weak through the weekend, therefore only
expecting the stronger storms to be capable of producing locally
heavy rainfall. The higher precipitable water axis will remain
virtually unchanged for Saturday with the same areas as today having
shower/storm chances. There could be an uptick in the coverage for
Saturday night across southeast Kansas, as moisture transport from
low level jet targets eastern Kansas. Heading into Sunday night a
frontal boundary looks to push slowly southward towards central
Kansas. This will result in better coverage of storms that will
spread southeast across much of the area.

Models show the frontal boundary continuing to push southward across
Kansas on Monday which looks to scour out some the richer
precipitable water atmospheric moisture heading into Tuesday. This
will result in a continuation of shower/storm chances for mainly
southerly Kansas on Monday with dry weather more likely for Tuesday
and Wednesday. The moisture will gradually begin to recover for
Thursday along with increasing south winds.
