KEY MESSAGES

DISCUSSION
Issued at 107 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026
This afternoon and evening:
Upper-lvl trough near the NE Great Lakes continues to move eastward, pushing a frontal boundary through the region over the rest of Tuesday. As the front drops south, showers and storms are expected along and south of the boundary. Organize, severe weather is not expected like yesterday; however, some multicell clusters/microburst storms will be possible as storms progress south. Behind the front, dry air and a slight temp drop will filter in and linger until the end of the week.
Wednesday through Monday:
High pressure will build over the Great Lakes and move southward over the week. As the ridge gets established over our region, the combo of dry air and "cool" temps, conditions will feel closer to early June and the heat won't be as oppressive. The ridge will move east and an upper-lvl trough off to the west will increasing moisture and returning shower/storm chances as embedded disturbances traverse the region starting Friday. Rain chances will continue into the new week as the pattern remains unchanged. /SW/
