DISCUSSION
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1243 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026
A RELATIVELY DRY SURFACE AND MID-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS IN CONTROL
OF OUR WEATHER THROUGH FRIDAY, RESULTING IN FAIR-WEATHER
CONDITIONS AND A NOTICEABLY LESS-MUGGY AIR MASS.
OVER THE WEEKEND, MOIST ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS AS THE SURFACE RIDGE
REPOSITIONS. THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE IS SHOWN TO BECOME DAMPENED BY
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ON ITS PERIMETER. THIS WILL PROMOTE THE RETURN
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION, CONTINUING INTO A
CHUNK OF NEXT WEEK. FOR YOUR WEEKEND PLANS, TRENDS FAVOR A
GREATER COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY ON SUNDAY VS. SATURDAY.
