ISSUED AT 240 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2026
UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY PRETTY MUCH THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST
PERIOD. SW-W FLOW WILL ALSO PERSIST UNTIL A COLD FRONT THE END OF
THE WEEK BRINGS A BRIEF BOUT OF RELIEF. ALTHOUGH PARAMETERS AREN'T
AS STRONG TODAY FOR A WIDESPREAD FLOOD WATCH ISSUANCE, THAT DOESN'T
MEAN ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING COULDN'T STILL OCCUR. PWS ON 00Z HREF
AND RRFS DEPICT VALUES UNDER 2 INCHES, WHEN YESTERDAY SHOWED
MULTIPLE 2 INCH AND ABOVE VALUES, WAY ABOVE CLIMO NORMS. A MRGL TO A
SLGT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FROM WPC, MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY, WILL
COVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. A STATIONARY BOUNDARY AND SHORTWAVE
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT INTO TODAY.
AFTER TODAY, TEMPERATURES WILL RISE A COUPLE OF DEGREES EACH DAY
WITH 70S DEW POINTS STICKING AROUND. RIDGING WILL BUILD IN BEHIND
THE SHORTWAVE, THUS, SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY BE OF THE TYPICAL SUMMER
VARIETY WITH BETTER CHANCES OVER THE TERRAIN AND A DYING DOWN IN
ACTIVITY DURING OVERNIGHT HOURS. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED
FLASH FLOODING GIVEN THE ENVIRONMENT.
A COLD FRONT AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND MAY BRING A SUBTLE AND
TEMPORARY RELIEF OF HIGHS IN THE VALLEY MAXING NEAR 90 AND DEW
POINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S IN THE COMING DAYS. DRY WEATHER DOESN'T
APPEAR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT, WITH DAILY PRECIPITATION CONTINUING,
ACCORDING TO MODELS.
