KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1059 AM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

- High chances (70-90%) of showers and thunderstorms return Sunday and Monday.

- A more summerlike pattern sets up by midweek, with low to medium chances (30-50%) of showers and storms during the day then tapering out in the evening.

- High temperatures warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s Wednesday through Friday. Heat index values approach 100 degrees by the end of the week.

NEAR TERM

(Rest of Today and Tonight) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

Dry conditions will persist through the day as high pressure continues to dominate weather locally. This high will slowly shift east over the western Atlantic as an upper wave approaches from the Southern Plains. Cloud cover will increase today as southerly flow advects Gulf moisture into the area, and low chances for rain and thunderstorms will increase from south to north early tomorrow morning. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 80s today with light southerly winds, with mild temps in the mid 60s to low 70s tonight.

SHORT TERM

(Sunday through Monday) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

A more active pattern will move in during the short term period as the aforementioned wave results in a surge of moisture-rich air by tomorrow morning. High chances for rain and storms will persist Sunday and Monday, bringing a low risk for flash flooding as noted by WPC's introduction of a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall. With weak shear profiles and weaker steering flow aloft, severe weather is not anticipated at this time. Flash flooding will be the primary concern given the slow moving nature of storms with torrential downpours with PWATs as high as 2.2". Recent rainfall has softened soils enough to make weaker trees more susceptible to falling even in non-severe thunderstorm wind gusts, so be mindful of this especially if spending time outdoors or driving through thunderstorms. Rain chances will peak during the afternoons, but medium chances will persist through the overnight hours as well.

High temps Sunday and Monday will be seasonably cool thanks to the heavy clouds and rain, peaking in the low to mid 80s. Overnight lows will be near 70 degrees.

LONG TERM

(Monday night through Friday) Issued at 826 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

A shortwave will continue its journey to round the Southeast's ridge on Tuesday, before shifting the ridge eastward thereafter. This will help keep low to medium chances (30-60%) of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast Monday night through Tuesday. With the sfc high centered in the Mid- Atlantic, southerly winds will continue to advect in warm, moist air into the region through mid week. During this time, another ridge amplifies up from the Southern Plains into the Great Lakes, but will be blocked on progressing eastward. This will provide us with an increase in temperatures (upper 80s to lower 90s) through the week. With the amount of moisture in place, there will be diurnally driven convection along with heat index values in the upper 90s. Yes, it's June, but these hot and humid conditions will create elevated Heat Risk values, so ensure you are staying cool and hydrated!

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1259 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

VFR conditions will persist until the early morning hours when heavy rain showers and thunderstorms bring higher chances for MVFR to IFR cigs and vsbys. Brief periods of LIFR conditions may occur during heavier downpours. Winds will remain light and variable throughout the period.
