DISCUSSION

Issued at 300 PM EDT Tue June 2 2026

Pattern Synopsis: The pesky Omega block that has been impacting the weather pattern across much of North America is starting to break down. The upper-level ridging that has been responsible for our extended period of dry weather is forecast to slide to the east and break down by the end of the work week. At the same time the cutoff upper-level low over the Northern/Canadian Rockies will weaken and drift east the rest of the week. This system will result in our next chance of rainfall by the end of the work week and into the weekend. Upper-level ridging is forecast to build back into the Nation's mid- section early next week.

Forecast Details: At least a couple more quiet weather days expected as area remains under the influence of upper-level ridging and slowly departing surface high pressure. The airmass remains quite dry through Thursday keeping the local fire danger elevated. That being said, low-level winds turn southwesterly ahead of the approaching late week system by Wednesday. This turning of the winds will transport a warmer and slightly more humid air mass into the area. This gradual increase in moisture will have us seeing more clouds than the past several days.

Shower and thunderstorm chances start to spread into the area from the northwest later Thursday night into Friday with the approach of a weakening low pressure system and its associated frontal boundary. Precipitation chances with this slow moving boundary will persist for at least the first half of the weekend. Would not be surprised to see this late week system to trend a little slower than current indications since the blocking pattern has not fully broken down at this point. Dry weather returns as ridging builds back to start next week.
