.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 343 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

Surface toughing near the less of the Colorado Rockies is
forecast to spread eastward, morphing into more of a a broad
surface trough across the Central High Plains (KS/CO state line)
by midday Saturday. This tough will be the impetus for higher
terrain thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and perhaps
linger into far western Kansas counties overnight, but the
probability for thunderstorms will be less than 10% spatially.
Additionally the area is only on a general thunderstorm outlook
this afternoon and the odds of severe weather are less than 5%.
Efficient rain producing thunderstorms however in the southeast
this evening cannot be ruled out where the excessive rainfall
outlook is in the marginal category east of a Coldwater to Pratt
line.

The warmest temperatures of the week will be the period through
the weekend. Highs in this timeframe will be in the mid 90s
with overnight lows in the mid and upper 60s. Areas west of a
Hays to Garden and Johnson line will fall into the moderate
category Saturday afternoon (as it is the warmest day) which can
impact some industries and health systems. This keeps out heat
risk at the level 1 out of 4, meaning, the heat will impact the
folks who are most sensitive to heat, specifically those without
adequate cooling or hydration.

Issued at 600 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

Continued VFR conditions are expected at all terminals
throughout the TAF period. Winds will generally be 10-15 knots
with gusts exceeding 20 knots at times, especially into Saturday
afternoon. Any potential storms this evening and Saturday will
be very spotty in nature, so any one airport being impacted is
quite low.
