.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 140 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

A weak MSLP gradient will prevail across the FA tonight. This will
result in light and variable winds. Overnight minimums will be near
normal with values in the 50s and 60s. There was a small concern
of light precipitation developing across central Kansas tonight,
however, confidence is very low and 95% of the FA should not see
anything. A continued weak MSLP gradient continues Tuesday with a
very weak lee trough across Colorado. The net result is light winds
continuing tomorrow. Highs should be mainly in the mid to upper 80s.
The forecast will remain dry with little, if any precipitation probability
percentage points through the rest of the day and into the evening.

For the rest of the business week, will be watching the 500 hPa high
move from the Desert Southwest Wednesday to over the Rockies Saturday.
The net result is hotter highs for the FA. EPS has >90% probabilities
of >90F by the end of the business week. The next weekend is looking
hot with highs around 100F. Lows during this period will trend warmer
with mainly 60s increasing to mainly 70s to close out the extended
period. Unfortunately, precipitation looks unlikely through the period
under the prevailing anticyclone.
