DISCUSSION

Issued at 1214 AM CDT Sun May 31 2026

An interesting pattern unfolds over the eastern and central CONUS through midweek. An upper trof oriented off the East Coast builds back across much of the eastern states through Tuesday while an upper ridge oriented near/along the Mississippi River valley broadens and moves to encompass much of the central states. A weak frontal boundary currently over the interior portion of the forecast area is anticipated to meander near this position through Sunday. A surface low forms near South Carolina Sunday night then moves off into the western Atlantic, with the frontal boundary over the forecast area drifting to near the coast by Monday, then moving offshore Monday night. A northerly surface flow will be present over the forecast area on Tuesday, then a back-door style cold front is anticipated to move through Tuesday night as a large surface ridge builds over the eastern states.

The weak boundary and a series of shortwaves will support chance to likely pops for much of the area on Sunday, then mostly chance pops follow for Monday. Will mention the potential for flooding issues with storms mainly over south central Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Chance pops continue for Tuesday as a series of shortwaves move across the area, then mainly dry conditions are expected on Wednesday in the wake of the back-door front and also as the central states upper ridge begins to build into the region. Mostly dry conditions continue for Thursday, then slight chance to chance pops return to the western and central portions of the area on Friday as a southeasterly surface flow is established. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s for Sunday through Tuesday then Wednesday and Thursday will have highs in the lower to mid 80s. Friday will have highs in the mid 80s. Lows tonight through Monday night will be in the lower to mid 70s, then trend cooler for Tuesday night with lows ranging from the mid 60s well inland to the lower 70s at the coast. Lows Wednesday night and Thursday night will range from the lower 60s well inland to near 70 at the immediate coast. Lows Friday night range from the mid 60s inland to the lower 70s at the coast. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected through Sunday, then a low risk is anticipated for Sunday night through Wednesday. /29
