KEY MESSAGES

- Pleasant weather settling into the region for the remainder of the weekend into early next week.

- Next cold front and associated scattered showers/storms forecast for Wednesday and Wednesday night.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1232 PM CDT Sat May 2 2026

Dry pleasant conditions, with cool overnight lows and warm daytime highs will continue for the next couple days. We'll see a gradual warming/moistening trend early next week as surface high pressure transitions to the east and onshore winds resume.

Toward midweek, the mid/upper trof situated off the coast of the Pacific Northwest will partially phase with one dropping southward from Canada into the Plains. Its associated surface dryline and frontal boundary will make its way into the area Wednesday and probably generate some sct shra/tsra during the day until the frontal boundary moves off the coast Wed night. Blended guidance in the fcst wants to maintain some rain chances Thurs behind the front, but it might be a bit too high based on most deterministic data so we'll have to watch trends and possibly make some future downward adjustments if necessary.

Southern periphery of the aforementioned mid/upper trof breaks off and retrogrades southwestward toward Baja late in the work week. Disturbances riding along the swly flow aloft and the return of llvl Gulf moisture could provide additional rain chances heading into next weekend as the trof kicks out to the ene. 47
