KEY MESSAGES

- A gradual warm up through this weekend with highs by mid next week in the 80s otherwise a tranquil stretch of weather.

UPDATE

Issued at 640 AM CDT Thu Jun 18 2026

Mid level cloud cover will gradually clear through the morning, with partly to mostly cloudy skies expected by this afternoon. Precipitation chances are minimal today, with highs in the 60s to near 70 degrees.

..Showers and Thunder Today

Under the influence of cyclonic flow and with about 1000 J/Kg of MUCAPE to work with, much of the region has seen afternoon showers and embedded thunderstorms develop. These showers and storms will continue throughout the afternoon and early evening hours, coming to an end as we lose daytime heating. Due to the limited instability and under 20 knots of effective shear, severe weather is not anticipated. However, those with outdoor activities should be prepared for a few rumbles of thunder through about sunset.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/

Issued at 640 AM CDT Thu Jun 18 2026
