DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1222 PM CDT SUN JUN 7 2026
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST, WITH RIDGING BUILDING BACK INTO OUR EASTERNMOST COUNTIES. TO
OUR WEST, A TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WAS PRODUCING
AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION.
THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE EDGE OF THESE TWO FEATURES,
WITH WINDS FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL KEEP A STEADY STREAM
OF MOISTURE FILTERING INTO THE AREA. COMBINED WITH WEAKNESSES
LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD, WILL KEEP SCATTERED STORMS ACROSS THE AREA,
WITH THE COVERAGE OF STORMS INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON.
AS FAR AS IMPACTS GO, THE HIGHER CHANCES AND AMOUNTS OF RAIN ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF US-85, WHERE VERY LITTLE RAIN FELL
YESTERDAY. THESE AREAS HAVE SEEN LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RAINFALL THE
LAST WEEK OR SO, AND SOILS HAVE DRIED ENOUGH THAT OUR FORECAST
RAINFALL TOTALS SHOULD REMAIN WELL BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IN OUR
NORTHERN COUNTIES. AREAS SOUTH OF US-84 EXPERIENCED MORE RAINFALL
YESTERDAY BUT ARE EXPECTED TO GET LESS TODAY. OVERALL, IT LOOKS LIKE
OUR HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS WILL FALL IN AREAS WHERE THE GROUND CAN
HANDLE IT WITHOUT MUCH RUNOFF. THAT SAID, GIVEN THE MOIST AIRMASS IN
PLACE, IF STORMS ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND/OR MOVE
OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS, WE MAY HAVE SOME FLOODING CONCERNS LATER IN
THE DAY. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LIKELY SCENARIO; HOWEVER, IT IS
ONE WE ARE MONITORING GIVEN MAY'S RAINFALL TOTALS ACROSS THE AREA.
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT, AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
TROUGH TO OUR WEST SWINGS INTO THE OHIO AND TN VALLEYS. MEANWHILE,
RIDGING WILL BUILD NORTHWARD AND LINGER THROUGH THE WORKWEEK. THE
TROUGH WILL STALL TO OUR NORTH AND THIS MAY ALLOW FOR ISOLATED
STORMS TO SNEAK INTO OUR NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES; BUT NO IMPACTS ARE
EXPECTED WITH THESE. OTHERWISE, WE EXPECT THE UPPER RIDGING TO
PROVIDE ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE TO KEEP LOW RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT ALSO MEANS HEAT BUILD
INTO THE REGION. HIGHS WILL CLIMB INTO THE 90S BY TUESDAY, WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS ONLY FALLING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S. /73

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY CONTINUE TO MOVE
NORTH. ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
