- Rain chances return during the second half of the week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1235 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Winds are veering around to the southeast and should persist for much of the week. As such, look for a gradual warming and moistening trend to ensue as we head into midweek. Look for the return of some late night clouds and early morning patchy fog across inland locations.

With the increase in llvl moisture and less subsidence aloft, we should be able to reintroduce some very low POPs for some locations closer to the coast on Tuesday, and slightly higher values Wednesday for more of the area.

Wed night & Thurs, a lower amplitude trof will be skirting across the Plains. PW's will be pooling between 1.5-1.8" along and to the south of its trailing axis locally. Slightly better large scale lift should be in place during this time period, and this will be the time period more favorable for scattered showers/storms across most of the region...esp if any convection and/or associated outflows decide to fire upstream and move into the area as some (but not all) deterministic guidance suggests.

Our second best shot of rain looks to occur late Saturday into Sunday when a deeper trof moves across the cntl U.S. and it's associated cold front and precip pushes through the region. This could make for some cooler conditions and wet ground for Easter morning egg hunts...but we're still a week out and timing/details will probably change between now and then. 47

AVIATION

(12Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 630 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

All sites at VFR this morning. Expect VFR to prevail through the day today. Winds may gust to around 20 kts at KCLL and in the vicinity this afternoon, otherwise, expect light SE winds. MVFR cloud deck will move into northern terminals around 10Z Monday morning.

MARINE

Issued at 1235 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Winds will be swinging back around to the southeast tonight and Sunday and persist for most of next week. The pressure gradient tightens a bit toward midweek, so look for a gradual increase in speeds and seas as the week progresses. Winds will generally be highest in the afternoon and evening in the bays, and during the overnight hours offshore. Caution flags might be needed intermittently offshore toward midweek. 47
