Updated Aviation discussion for the 12z TAF issuance.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1234 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

High pressure and H5 ridging over the Great Lakes and Midwest will bring continues dry and comfortable conditions to the region today through Friday. Thermal profiles look to be near typical early June values, so temperatures will be near normal values, with highs in the lower to middle 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

By this weekend, the ridging over the region will become suppressed by deepening troughing over the central Great Plains. A surface cold front will attempt to move into the region Saturday into early next week. Mentionable PoPs return to the forecast on Saturday (15-30%), but more a more significant daily chance of convection (25-50%) is forecast Sunday through Tuesday as the front remains over the region.

Model guidance is still not in good agreement regarding storm timing, and it is probably there will be lots of dry hours despite the unsettled forecast. Additionally, increasing Gulf moisture ahead of the front will bring a return of noticeable humidity levels beginning Saturday, with dew point temperatures rising into the upper 60s and lower 70s.
