KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 136 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

- Daily rain/storm chances continue through the weekend into next week with near normal temperatures.

- Storms will bring a risk for heavy rain and localized flooding.

- Organized severe weather is not anticipated, but a few strong to severe storms with a risk for large hail and damaging winds will be possible most days.

NEAR TERM

(Through Wednesday) Issued at 136 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Shower and thunderstorm activity has been much less widespread over the area this evening compared to the last several evenings as better moisture convergence is confined to our west within a surface trough and upper ridging is centered over Oklahoma. Ridging is expected to shift eastward today, with increasing southerly flow on the backside of the ridge across western OK and western north TX by this afternoon. This will allow shower and thunderstorms to expand into western parts of the area later today into tonight, bringing a risk for heavy rainfall and localized flooding in any areas that see slow moving and/or training thunderstorms. Strong winds and small hail will also be possible with the stronger storms, but organized severe weather is not anticipated. Activity further east into central OK is likely to be more isolated through much of today and tonight, but can't rule out a pop up shower or storm just about anywhere. Highs today will reach into the mid to upper 80s across much of the area, right around seasonal norms for early June.

SHORT TERM

(Wednesday night through Friday night) Issued at 136 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Several subtropical shortwaves are expected to lift across the area to the east of a slow moving upper low across northern MX into the desert southwest US. This will keep occasional shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast through the end of the week across most of the region. Weak shear and fairly moist atmospheric profiles will keep the risk for severe weather fairly low, but can't rule out a few strong to marginally severe storms. Temperatures will remain near normal to close out the week, with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Ware

LONG TERM

(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 136 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

The aforementioned trough to our west will slowly lift eastward into the Plains this weekend, maintaining moist southerly flow and periodic storm chances over the area Saturday and Sunday. Models suggest the wave will then move east of the area Monday, shearing out as it does so as it becomes enveloped by a larger trough digging across the western US. Upper flow will then weaken and become more nebulous over the area, but with a moist and unstable airmass remaining in place, daily shower and storm chances and near normal temperatures will continue into at least the early to middle portion of next week.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1055 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Broken high clouds and light winds are expected overnight with MVFR conditions possible near dawn for some areas. There is a low chance of showers and thunderstorms this morning, which increase during the afternoon and become likely over KWWR by this evening. Strong thunderstorms are possible, but the main concerns are lightning and locally heavy rainfall.
