SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1045 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2026
WEDNESDAY'S GUSTY SOUTH WINDS BROUGHT VERY WARM, MUGGY CONDITIONS
INTO THE MID STATE, AND THE MOIST ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THURSDAY. AN ACTIVE FRONTAL SYSTEM DROPPING FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY AND REMNANTS FROM TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR WILL COME
TOGETHER TO BRING A HIGH CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE REMAIN UNDER A LOW-END
RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH A LOW-END RISK
FOR LOCAL FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL.
MODEL FORECASTS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAVE BEEN TRENDING
FASTER WITH THESE SYSTEMS, AND AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THE
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO VERY
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING GIVING US DRY CONDITIONS FOR DAYTIME FRIDAY
AND A VERY NICE, COMFORTABLE FRIDAY EVENING.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1045 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2026
SATURDAY SHOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD DAY. IT WILL BE WARM BUT HUMIDITY
LEVELS SHOULD STAY TOLERABLE. RETURN FLOW WILL BE DEVELOPING
QUICKLY, SO A FEW LATE DAY SHOWERS OR STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT
OVER THE SOUTHWEST.
AS WE GO THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY, A FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE AND
FRONT WILL BRING A HIGH CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF MODEL DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AT THIS POINT, BUT
IT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING TO SEE AT LEAST A LOW-END SEVERE
THREAT SUNDAY AND/OR MONDAY WITH THIS SYSTEM. AFTER MONDAY, ON AND
OFF SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE REST OF NEXT
WEEK AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.
OTHERWISE, NEXT WEEK SHOULD BRING TYPICAL JUNE WARMTH AND HUMIDITY
WITH LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 60S AND HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S TO NEAR
90.
