ISSUED AT 1138 PM CDT SUN JUN 7 2026
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST
TODAY, AS THE REGION REMAINS DISTURBED FROM THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW
MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST. ONCE IT ARRIVES THERE, THIS UPPER-LOW IS
STILL EXPECTED TO OPEN UP A BIT MORE, PROGRESSING INTO A TROUGH
THAT WILL DROP BACK SOUTH INTO THE AREA. WHILE THE BEST RAIN
CHANCES DURING THIS TIME WILL REMAIN TO OUR EAST, THIS WILL KEEP
THE REGION MIXED ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO STAY IN THE FORECAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.
FROM HERE, UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD BEGIN TO BUILD TO OUR WEST
LATE WEDNESDAY, AND INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THIS RIDGING WILL AID IN
SHUTTING OFF THE MORE ORGANIZED RAIN CHANCES, INSTEAD FAVORING
MORE SCATTERED, DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
INTO THE WEEKEND. CONFIDENCE STILL REMAINS HIGH THAT AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO CLIMB DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AS
WELL, WITH HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY CLIMBING INTO THE LOW-90S FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE AREA.

FIRE WEATHER
ELEVATED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FOR
MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. BECAUSE OF THAT, MINRH VALUES WILL
REMAIN ABOVE 50% OR HIGHER INTO NEXT WEEKEND. GIVEN DAILY RAIN
CHANCES AND HIGH MINRH VALUES, FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN
LITTLE TO NONE AT THIS TIME.
