KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 625 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026

- High pressure will bring clear and less-humid weather through Friday.

- Opportunities for showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast over the weekend, primarily starting on Sunday, and persist into the week.

DISCUSSION

(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 1243 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026

A relatively dry surface and mid-level ridge remains in control of our weather through Friday, resulting in fair-weather conditions and a noticeably less-muggy air mass.

Over the weekend, moist onshore flow returns as the surface ridge repositions. The mid-level ridge is shown to become dampened by shortwave troughs on its perimeter. This will promote the return of showers and thunderstorms to the region, continuing into a chunk of next week. For your weekend plans, trends favor a greater coverage of activity on Sunday vs. Saturday.

FIRE WEATHER

There are no fire weather concerns over the coming days. Due to relatively dry high pressure, fair weather is expected through Friday with afternoon MinRH between 30-50 percent. High pressure then eases a bit over the weekend, along with rebounding moisture values, which will offer chances for showers and thunderstorms into next week.
