DISCUSSION

(This afternoon through Tuesday) Issued at 152 PM CDT WED JUN 3 2026

A large dome of surface high pressure is present across Eastern Conus today. Some scattered cloud cover is present across the southwest portions of the area. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies are noted on satellite. Fair and less humid weather is expected to persist through the short term forecast (through Friday) as the surface ridge remains the dominant feature. By Thursday, the ridge center will begin to nudge southeast as the overall ridge slowly weakens. Temperatures will be below normal in the short term but will slowly rise each day headed into the weekend.

Onshore flow returns this weekend in the lower levels as the surface ridge continues to weaken and push off into the Western Atlantic. Shortwave disturbances will propagate periodically around a Deep South and Gulf upper ridge through the extended. This will result in daily diurnally enhanced convection chances starting Saturday.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 625 PM CDT WED JUN 3 2026
