A MID AND UPPER LEVEL OMEGA BLOCKING PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL HELP KEEP
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE REGION THRU THE FORECAST PERIOD.

JUNE - TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLEASANT. HIGHS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED
TO BE IN THE 70S WITH LOWS IN THE 50S.
A STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL DROP DOWN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST US
THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT TO SLIP SOUTH

OF 20 TO 30 MPH ON SATURDAY.

SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. CHANCES FOR RAIN LOOK TO INCREASE AT THE
END OF NEXT WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
