DISCUSSION

Issued at 103 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Wednesday night through Tuesday:

An Omega-block will establish over the the Great Lakes and progress south over the week, resulting in widespread ridging over the southeast CONUS. An isolated shower will be possible in the southwest this afternoon as the the ridge sets up over the area. As the blocking pattern/ridge gets established over our region, early summer temps with dry air, conditions won't be as oppressive. The block will gradually break and move the ridge eastward and an upper- lvl trough off to the west will increasing moisture over the region Friday into the weekend. Embedded disturbances will increase shower/storm chances late Friday in the south. Widespread rain chances will begin Saturday and continue into the new week each as deeper moisture filters in beyond the extended period. /SW/
