Kansas Tornado Chasers

05/07/2024

A stable post-frontal regime is anticipated across the area today. Much drier air will advect southward with afternoon dewpoint temperatures in the 50s for many areas. Below normal temperatures will prevail with highs in the mid and upper 80s.

Sat-Sun... A shortwave trough will bring a chance of storms back to central KS on Saturday but low level moisture will be slow to recover with the quality low level moisture remaining well south of the region. Storm coverage is expected to be higher just west of our area although some low pops were maintained with increasing probabilities arriving Sat night into Sunday as a mean mid/upper trough remains situated over the Central and Northern Plains. Deep layer shear around 50 kts may support some storm organization late Sat, especially west of I-135 Sat evening/night. Locally heavy rain could develop on Sunday as PWATs climb to around 2 inches over southern Kansas.

Mon-Thu... Unsettled weather may linger into early next week, especially across eastern Kansas as a pv anomaly pivots over the area. We continue to see support for slightly below normal temperatures through much of the period as a mean trough remains situated over the central CONUS and the subtropical ridge remains west over the Central Great Basin area.

The LATEST update on Hurricane Beryl is a STRONG Category 2 with 110mph winds moving toward the west-northwest at 18 mph.

A westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next day or two, taking the core of Beryl away from the Cayman Islands through this afternoon and then over the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday.

Weakening is forecast during the next day or two, though Beryl is forecast to remain a hurricane until it makes landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula.

That said, all eyes are on what Beryl "could" do once in the Gulf of Mexico and for the Texas Coast. How will Beryl interact with Yucatan Peninsula? We have to wait and see. Until then it's a guessing game.

Beryl has a history of trending more on the north side of its track - that we do know and presently trying to build another eye.

So stay tuned for more updates!
