.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1201 AM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
As of late tonight, latest radar was seeing present storms
struggle under the cap with most of these storms currently
elevated and producing occasional 60 mph wind gusts. These storms
are quickly being push out of the Panhandles into Central Oklahoma
and Southern Kansas with not much redevelopment following behind
it. Meanwhile latest satellite and observations have seen the
front stall well to our north, with most CAMs not having it here
until the overnight cap is well established. At this time chances
of any severe thunderstorms have decreased quite a bit, though not
fully ruled out if we can get an isolated storm to break the cap.
However, once the front has fully passed the atmosphere is
expected to become very stable under the cooler air mass behind
it. Still the potential is present to see more showers and
embedded thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon as models see the upper-
level trough axis finally pushes into the Panhandles and give us
enough lift. These chances will likely persists through the
evening and overnight hours with activity finally waning as the
trough exits Wednesday. Otherwise look for a nice cool down to
follow this frontal passage with afternoon temperatures dropping
into 70s for most locations.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 1201 AM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
Moving into Thursday has most models agreeing to the upper-level
ridge rebuilding and moving over the Panhandles. This placement
will look to see the Panhandles dry out through Friday and
portions of Saturday. From there model agreement does see a new
upper-level closed low try to move across the Southwestern United
State during the weekend, but there is still a lot of disagreement
on its placement and timing. At this time most ensembles are
preferring a dry approach with chances of precipitation 15% or
less through the weekend. Model agreement only gets worse as we
head into the new week, with both the ECMWF and GFS not sure how
to progress the upper-level closed low pasted the Great Plains.
For now, look temperatures to rebound after the cool down with
most locations back into the 80s by the weekend.

As of late tonight, most of our strongest thunderstorms have
already exited the Panhandles leaving only KGUY to deal with
linger showers. Potential to see anything more than weak showers
for the overnight has pretty much diminished as the front
has stalled in Central Kansas. At this time most CAMs do not have
the front here for till a few hours before sunrise. However,
there still may be impacts to the terminals with this frontal
passage as many of the models have picked up on a low cloud deck
moving in during the early to mid-morning hours. This cloud deck
can possibly see all three terminals drop to MVFR conditions with
KGUY currently having the best odds. Regardless this should clear
by the afternoon hours with a new round showers looking to move in
from the northwest by the evening.
