NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1059 AM CDT SAT JUN 6 2026
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO DOMINATE WEATHER LOCALLY. THIS HIGH WILL SLOWLY SHIFT
EAST OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AS AN UPPER WAVE APPROACHES FROM
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE TODAY AS SOUTHERLY
FLOW ADVECTS GULF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA, AND LOW CHANCES FOR RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER 80S TODAY
WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS, WITH MILD TEMPS IN THE MID 60S TO LOW
70S TONIGHT.
SHORT TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1059 AM CDT SAT JUN 6 2026
A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN WILL MOVE IN DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS
THE AFOREMENTIONED WAVE RESULTS IN A SURGE OF MOISTURE-RICH AIR BY
TOMORROW MORNING. HIGH CHANCES FOR RAIN AND STORMS WILL PERSIST
SUNDAY AND MONDAY, BRINGING A LOW RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING AS NOTED
BY WPC'S INTRODUCTION OF A SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
WITH WEAK SHEAR PROFILES AND WEAKER STEERING FLOW ALOFT, SEVERE
WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
THE PRIMARY CONCERN GIVEN THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF STORMS WITH
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WITH PWATS AS HIGH AS 2.2". RECENT RAINFALL
HAS SOFTENED SOILS ENOUGH TO MAKE WEAKER TREES MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
FALLING EVEN IN NON-SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS, SO BE MINDFUL
OF THIS ESPECIALLY IF SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS OR DRIVING THROUGH
THUNDERSTORMS. RAIN CHANCES WILL PEAK DURING THE AFTERNOONS, BUT
MEDIUM CHANCES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WELL.
HIGH TEMPS SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE SEASONABLY COOL THANKS TO THE
HEAVY CLOUDS AND RAIN, PEAKING IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. OVERNIGHT
LOWS WILL BE NEAR 70 DEGREES.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 826 PM CDT FRI JUN 5 2026
A SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE ITS JOURNEY TO ROUND THE SOUTHEAST'S RIDGE
ON TUESDAY, BEFORE SHIFTING THE RIDGE EASTWARD THEREAFTER. THIS WILL
HELP KEEP LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCES (30-60%) OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE FORECAST MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. WITH THE SFC HIGH
CENTERED IN THE MID- ATLANTIC, SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
ADVECT IN WARM, MOIST AIR INTO THE REGION THROUGH MID WEEK. DURING
THIS TIME, ANOTHER RIDGE AMPLIFIES UP FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
INTO THE GREAT LAKES, BUT WILL BE BLOCKED ON PROGRESSING EASTWARD.
THIS WILL PROVIDE US WITH AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES (UPPER 80S
TO LOWER 90S) THROUGH THE WEEK. WITH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN
PLACE, THERE WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION ALONG WITH HEAT
INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 90S. YES, IT'S JUNE, BUT THESE HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CREATE ELEVATED HEAT RISK VALUES, SO ENSURE
YOU ARE STAYING COOL AND HYDRATED!
