.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 1258 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Drier air and high pressure is building into KS/MO today and
should be centered over MO tonight. Diurnal cumulus clouds have
already developed under the light northwest flow. High pressure
will remain across the central US through Monday night before
beginning to exit to the east. Overnight lows tonight are
expected to be in the low to mid 50s with light and variable
winds. Highs temperatures are expected to climb into the upper
70s to low 80s Monday.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1258 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Heading into the midweek there will be a couple chances for rain and
thunderstorms. The first of which kicks off Tuesday with low
chances (10-25%) in the morning and again during the overnight
hours. Aloft there will be a trough swinging through the north
central CONUS with some PVA ejecting out into the Central
Plains. There is still some uncertainty in how much lift there
will be aloft between deterministic and ensemble guidance. From
the deterministic side its most easily seen with looking at the
GFS & Euro vs the NAM. The NAM is much further south with a
potential for the upper level jet to nose into northern MO. The
jet streak is expected to be on the weaker side for 500mb around
60 kts. The discrepancies here may really just mean the
difference between scattered vs widespread rain/storms. In the
mid levels and low levels storms seem to be routed to and just
ahead of a weak passing cold front. Instability looks to be
weaker overall with dewpoints expected to be in the 50s maybe
low 60s if you squint at the right ensembles. Just lacking
moisture and instability needed for any stronger storms at this
time.

Wednesday looks like a far better chance for strong to severe
thunderstorms for eastern KS and MO. A 500 mb trough will swing from
roughly Alberta, CA into the southern Great Lakes before pulling
across the northeastern CONUS. A very similar path to the trough on
Tuesday, but stronger and slightly further south. This should
provide the area with better upper level lift for storms. Moisture
and instability should be much better as WAA returns to the area.
Sticky and warm weather with breezy sfc winds. Dewpoints in the low
70s with high temps back in the upper 80s to low 90s is expected.
SPC has already outlooked the area with a 30% probability for severe
weather. Given the set up this is gearing up to be another round of
late afternoon to late evening/overnight thunderstorms with all
hazards possible. Its still a little early to give any more
specifics such as specific areas, timing and intensities with
any of this convection. Will for sure be a time period to keep
an eye on though.

Thursday and Friday look be quieter as the upper level trough and
sfc low move east northeast out of the area and high pressure builds
in behind it. The next chance for rain and thunderstorms looks to
move through late Saturday through Sunday with 50-60% chances. There
remains some uncertainty in timing and strength of the next system.
Deterministic 500 mb models show this well (GFS, Euro and
Canadian) with just drastically difference scenarios.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1258 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

VFR conditions are expected through the period. Diurnal Cumulus
clouds have developed across the northern third of Missouri. The few
to scattered cloud bases are around 5kft. This deck could spread
further south overtime and will erode near dusk this evening.
Northwest winds around 10-15 kts will become light and variable
around dark. Monday morning southwest winds return and should
remain light. Diurnal cumulus may be possible again Monday
afternoon near the end of the TAF period.
