003 FXUS63 KICT 271119 AFDICT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 619 AM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Shower and storm chances will continue to affect mainly southern and southeast Kansas for today through Saturday with the primary hazard being locally heavy rainfall - Could see more widespread shower and storm chances for Sunday night as a frontal boundary moves southward into Kansas - Low chances for showers/storms expected for Tuesday and Wednesday with most areas looking dry this period && .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. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 618 AM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 Scattered showers and storms have develop over southern and southeast Kansas early this morning. Some of these storms could move across CNU site this morning. Otherwise southerly winds will prevail across the region today. && .ICT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION...CDJ AVIATION...CDJ
