DISCUSSION

Issued at 127 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Large scale flow aloft remains heavily blocked to our west keeping surface high pressure to our northeast in control and steadily sending drier and somewhat cooler air in from the northeast. This should keep things fairly stable, seasonable and dry for at least the next several days.

By the weekend the block slowly moves eastward enough that we get into to some southwesterly return flow sending low 70s dewpoints back into the region. The front between the humid air to the southwest and the drier air to the northeast returns and there appears to be enough frontogenetic forcing to produce showers and thunderstorms. Northwesterly flow aloft is advertised for much of the weekend with weak passing waves. Such a pattern would give us a good chance for afternoon showers and storms, to what we had over this past weekend, only PWAT values are advertised a little higher.
