DISCUSSION

Issued at 230 AM EDT Fri Jun 5 2026

In the upper levels, a ridge is centered over the Southeast U.S. At the surface, high pressure is centered over the Southeast and Mid- Atlantic. Dry weather will continue through at least Saturday. Temperatures and dew points will be on the rise Saturday and Sunday as southwesterly flow continues. By Sunday, a system moving through the Northeast brings a cold front into the Ohio Valley but it fails to make it this far south. An upper level low gets somewhat stuck near KS/MO as a blocking ridge extends from the Southeast U.S. to Ontario, Canada. The remnants of this upper low will make it into the Ohio Valley Tues/Wed.

Rain chances start to increase Sunday afternoon mainly in the Cumberland Plateau and Southwest Virginia. Then isolated to scattered showers and storms are likely every day next week. This activity will be hit and miss and mainly during the peak heating hours of the afternoon and evening. It looks like Tuesday and Wednesday may have the best coverage.
