DISCUSSION

Issued at 112 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

A rather unsettled and active pattern will come to a brief close this week as a surface front slowly pushes offshore and stalls. This afternoon will likely be the last of a rather active and soggy period as a final shortwave works its way through the deep south. This should be enough to kickoff scattered to numerous storms over the next couple of hours before drier air works in and the front fully clears the coast tonight. Rain chances should decrease through the remainder of the week with high pressure building over the area through the work week. The biggest change you will likely notice is an unseasonably dry and "cooler" conditions Wednesday through Friday as highs will drop into the low 80s withs in the low 60s to possibly 50s well inland which is roughly 10 degrees below normal. Unfortunately, this will likely be short lived as moisture will quickly return by the weekend as the upper ridge moves east. Deep Gulf moisture will surge northward throughout the weekend and a more typical summertime pattern will likely setup through the weekend and into early next week. We will have to keep an eye on this weekend as the stalled boundary slowly lifts northward on Sunday a period of more widespread rain and potentially some heavier rain with NBM 95th percentiles around 2 to 3 inches and PWATS climbing above 2 inches. This would likely not be a widespread threat but given we are coming off our rainiest may on record and local saturated grounds we may need to keep an eye for a localized potential heavy rainfall threat to close out the weekend. Temperatures will gradually increase throughout the period climbing back into the mid to upper 80s by early next week. BB-8
