UPDATE
ISSUED AT 354 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2026
MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY AS HIGHS PEAK IN THE MID
TO UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S ACROSS THE AREA. OTHERWISE, THE FORECAST
REMAINS ON TRACK FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS TO RETURN TO THE AREAS BY
LATE AFTERNOON AS A WEAK TROUGH AND COLD FRONT SWING THROUGH. WHILE
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED, POCKETS OF MODERATE RAINFALL AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 40-50 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME
ACTIVITY. NONETHELESS, SHOULD SEE MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY EXIT OUR
AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT GIVING WAY TO QUIETER CONDITIONS. LASTLY,
SHOULD SEE THE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES CARRY OVER INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S EXPECTED.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1246 PM CDT SUN JUN 14 2026
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOLID RADIATIONAL COOLING,
WITH MONDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING OUT IN THE 40S IN MOST
SPOTS.
A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY WHICH
WILL BRING ABOUT GUSTY WINDS AGAIN, WITH A FEW GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH
POSSIBLE. MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE WEAK SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY, MAINLY LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THIS WILL BRING
ABOUT THE THREAT FOR A FEW SHOWERS, POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM. WHILE SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED, A NICE INVERTED
V SOUNDING SUGGESTS SOME STRONGER WINDS GUSTS, LIKELY 40 TO 50 MPH.
THE BETTER CHANCES FOR THESE GUSTY WINDS SHOULD BE NEAR AND
NORTHEAST OF A HURON TO SPENCER IA LINE.
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING THROUGH THE NEXT SYSTEM OF INTEREST
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WARM ADVECTION INCREASES TUESDAY NIGHT
AHEAD OF THE WAVE WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES INCREASING TO ABOUT 7.5
DEGREES C. THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME ELEVATED SHOWERS OR A VERY ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM. WEAK INSTABILITY STILL APPEARS TO BE A LIMITING FACTOR
FOR DEVELOPMENT. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THIS SYSTEM IS BLOWING BY
AND SEVERE CHANCES APPEAR TO BE PRETTY LOW. HOWEVER, SIMILAR TO
MONDAY SOME WEAK SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY WITH A DRY SUB CLOUD
LAYER AND A STRONG WESTERLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND COULD LEAD TO GUSTY
WINDS WITH ANY AFTERNOON OR EVENING SHOWER THAT COULD DEVELOP,
POSSIBLY GUSTS OF 50 TO 55 MPH.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY LOOK GENERALLY DRY AND PLEASANT WITH HIGHS
THURSDAY INTO THE 70S AND FRIDAY MOSTLY IN THE 80S.
THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND BUT
FOR NOW CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MODERATE ON LOCATION AND TIMING. SOME
HINTS THAT THE BETTER CHANCES MAY RESIDE ACROSS NEBRASKA. OTHERWISE
TEMPERATURES REMAIN SEASONALLY MILD.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1238 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE PERIOD. WINDS ARE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE, BECOMING WEST AFTER SUNRISE AND INCREASING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. GUSTS OF 20-28 KTS ARE EXPECTED FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST
OF I-29 AND INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. NORTHWEST IOWA WILL SEE
SLIGHTLY LIGHTER GUSTS AT 15-20 KTS. WINDS DECREASE THROUGH THE
EVENING, REMAINING SLIGHTLY BREEZY AT 15 KTS OR SO THROUGH THE END
OF THE PERIOD.
CLEAR SKIES WILL BECOME SCATTERED TO BROKEN EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS
A MID-LEVEL WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT MOVE IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST. WITH IT COME CHANCES FOR EVENING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED, HOWEVER A
VERY DRY SUBCLOUD LAYER COULD RESULT IN STRONG WIND GUSTS OF 40-50
KTS UNDER ANY STRONGER STORMS. THE MAIN STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN
ALONG AND NORTH OF I-90, BUT SOME GUIDANCE HINTS AT A FEW SHOWERS AS
FAR SOUTH AS THE SD/NE BORDER AND INTO NORTHWEST IOWA. SHOWERS
SHOULD BE PUSHING EAST OF THE REGION AROUND THE END OF THE
PERIOD.
