DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 149 PM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
THE WEATHER PATTERN MOST OF THIS WORK WEEK WILL FEATURE ZONAL
FLOW ACROSS THE CONUS, WITH A SUPPRESSED UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE
TRANSLATING EAST ALONG THE GULF COAST GRADUALLY BEING REPLACED BY
DEEPER TROUGHING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. HEIGHTS IN GENERAL REMAIN
STRONGER THAN NORMAL, SUPPORTING A RETURN TO TEMPS AVERAGING
10-15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE REGION. DAILY CHANCES FOR MAINLY
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TICK UPWARDS THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK AS MOISTURE LEVELS SLOWLY IMPROVE. THE TIMING AND DEPTH OF A
TROUGH SWINGING EAST LATE IN THE WEEK MAKE FOR UNCERTAIN IMPACTS
IN OUR REGION, BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS TO
RETURN ESPECIALLY IN THE THURSDAY/FRIDAY TIME FRAME. IT IS STILL
EXPECTED THAT A MORE FULL-LATITUDE TROUGH WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS
THE CONUS NEXT WEEKEND, BRINGING BETTER CHANCES FOR ORGANIZED
HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO THE
REGION. CONFIDENCE IS NOT GREAT ENOUGH FOR AN OUTLOOK THIS FAR
OUT, BUT STAY AWARE FOR UPDATES TO THE FORECAST THIS WEEK FOR
POTENTIAL IMPACTS IN OUR FORECAST AREA. /NF/
