DISCUSSION

Issued at 1210 PM CDT Sun May 24 2026

A sorta quasi negatively tilted Rex blocking high pattern evolves over CONUS this week, with differing sensible wx impacts here on day-to-day runs/trends. The latest ensemble blend modeling keeps a wetter than normal pattern wrt daily pops, however, overall week-long qpf ranges from only about a half inch in our north to closer to 1 inch in our south, isolated higher totals being possible. Most of the week will be spent with temperatures in the 60s (nights) and 70s (days), though daily highs might officially touch 80F or reach into the lower 80s briefly.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/

Ground fog may be a factor through the night tonight, particularly at southern Illinois airfields but suspect it spreads into parts of SEMO and western Kentucky as well. If mid cloud clears out of EVV/OWB will be a factor there as well.

Quick improvement to VFR by daybreak for any spots that see fog form up with moderate northeast winds through the day.
