.KEY MESSAGES...
- Thunderstorms will move out of Colorado around 6 or 7 pm,
expanding east with time. An Enhanced Risk area after 7 pm
extends from the Colorado line to Garden City and Liberal,
where hail in excess of 2 inches (15-30% coverage) in diameter
and Tornadoes (up to 5% coverage) are possible.
- Additional rainfall of 2 to 3 inches is expected between 7 pm
and midnight in the southwestern most counties, leading to
scattered to even numerous instances flash flooding This
Evening.
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 301 AM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025
Plenty of similarities exist in the mesoscale environment going
into late this afternoon and Tonight as compared with the large
hail and heavy excessive rain producing thunderstorms of
Thursday night. As a cool stable stratus layers begins to erode
and allow for afternoon destabilization, the CAPE and 0-3km
shear fields quickly evolve to once again support, fairly quick
moving northwest flow supercells along the KS/CO line by about
the 00 UTC timeframe. CONUSPROBV3 2-5 km prob updraft helicities
again target the southwest Kansas counties with intense
rotating updrafts between 00 and 05 z (7 pm and midnight). CAPE
looks weaker overall with more weight on the shear values. Those
southwest counties only show about a 20 to 50% chance for
MLCAPE values getting above 1000 J/KG, and virtually no chance
of 2000 j/KG. Nevertheless, a few counties including the
communities of Johnson, Elkhart Hugoton and Liberal are covered
in the hatched area for 2+ inch diameter hail Friday afternoon
and evening.
The last 24 hours are a great example of where uncertainty on
forecast becomes the biggest factor, as heaviest rains from
several rounds of thunderstorms few to the west of our watched
area in the southern 2 tiers of Kansas counties. Now, a higher
degree of confidence is lent to a new flood watch for excessive
rainfall for Tonight, across the southwest 4 counties as the
antecedent conditions will send all convective rain straight
into runoff and all but certain to wipe out most of the the
abnormally dry area on the US drought Monitor south of the Ark
River. Look for scattered to numerous instances of flash
flooding across these areas with inundated county roads and
water out of the banks of streams and tributaries. At this time
the latest 6-hr QPF ensemble prob matched means from HREF target
areas southwest of a Garden City to Ashland line with scattered
2 to 3 inches.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1135 PM CDT Thu Jun 5 2025
Aviation impacts include widespread stratus as the trailing
stratiform convection leaves a cool boundary layer behind, with
light north winds through the morning. Plenty of moisture from
last nights rains may also lead to shallow fog development,
despite the cloud cover, in fact as of 04z, DDC only has a 1
degree dew point depression. Convection is reintroduced into
the terminals after 00z for LBL and GCK.
