DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 419 AM CDT WED JUN 3 2026
APART FROM LOW PRECIP CHANCES IN OUR FAR SOUTHERN ZONES, HIGH
PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND RIDGING ALOFT WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES
AT A MINIMUM THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WORK WEEK. THE PLUME
OF DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BE MOSTLY DIRECTED FROM THE EASTERN GULF
INTO CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND OVER TO TEXAS AND THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
THE DRIER AIR WILL ALSO LET NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES FALL MUCH
EASIER. MIN TEMPS IN THE 60S WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD, AND EVEN
SOME UPPER 50S IN EASTERN MISSISSIPPI TONIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
THEN THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, THE RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN
AND SHIFT EASTWARD. THE DEEPER MOISTURE VALUES WILL REBOUND INTO
OUR REGION, AND THE THE EFFECTS OF UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING TO OUR
WEST WILL GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD OUR REGION. RESULTING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK FAMILIAR AT THIS POINT ALREADY THIS
SEASON - SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS, WITH FLOW AND VORTICITY ACROSS
THE REGION CONTINUING CHANCES INTO OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE PATTERN
WILL GET MORE COMPLEX DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK, AS A PORTION OF
THE RIDGE CUTS OFF OVER THE NORTHEAST US, AND A REX BLOCK SCENARIO
SETS UP SOMEWHERE AROUND THE EASTERN SEABOARD. STILL EXPECT DAILY
PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. /NF/
