DISCUSSION

Issued at 111 AM EDT Wed Jun 3 2026

From today until the middle of the weekend, will be a welcomed change to the weather pattern, especially for areas that have seen copious amounts of rain lately. Ridging aloft will shift over from the west, while surface high pressure near the Great Lakes drifts to the Mid-Atlantic, with time. The blocking high will keep the forecast area dry for multiple days. Slightly below normal temperatures can be expected through tomorrow, with a return to near normal temperatures Friday onward. Humidity also won't be as bad as what it has been at the start of the forecast period. A slow return to 60s and some 70s dew points can be expected this weekend when return flow tries to develop out ahead of increasing chances for precipitation Sunday until the end of the forecast period.
