Outflow boundary from storms in NE Kansas have pushed through Wichita and have taken the warm front (and heat/moisture) with it and switched the winds now coming from NE.
Before Outflow Boundary:
Temp. 88 degrees
Dewpoint 70 degrees
After Outflow Boundary:
Temp. 78 Degrees
Dewpoint: 67 Degree

I think threads like these before the storms jinxes it. :lol:
T-Storms are firing near DDC and El Dorado and just south of the border in OK.

Wichita will likely get some type of precipitation, but tornadic storms are going south, literally.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

However, once these storms hit the outflow boundary they'll either turn to the east or break down in the "cooler" air and lose a lot of their punch and potential rotation.
The big question is whether the low level shear near and west of Wichita is going to materialize per the models - but this has been a big question all day.

So how much rain did everybody get? :lol:
The OFB killed it. But the conditions ended up being not that good anyways. I don't think any of the storms that did develop to the west or south had confirmed tornadoes.
Busted.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

Busted.
Couple other things was that the dry line didn't surge east as much as I think the models were suggesting. So the triple-point was really more near Dodge city than Wichita. Also the upper level support didn't show up.
Most of the T-Storms that developed were east of Wichita where the helicity was much better or west of Wichita (near DDC) at the triple-point.
But that is the way it goes. If the cap is to weak then you get garden variety t-storms by lunch. If the cap is to strong you get a great evening to play softball. If the cap isn't to weak or to strong and the timing of other ingredients comes together then you get an explosive environment. As the NWS would tell you - "Timing is everything"

Can't really ask for a much better setup in June though. And you're exactly right on the cap. It looked like all the crap that developed became multicelluar to the south and east anyways. It definitely wasn't the most ideal setup.
Glad to know there are other weather freak Shocker fans in here. :good:Deuces Valley.

GRLevel2? pshh.... get GRLevel3. Just kidding I don't have either. Convective outlooks look fair today. Yesterday could have been a big day but there were some flaws that prevented that. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued. Way to early to tellThe mountains are calling, and I must go.
