UPDATE
Issued at 634 AM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026
Added a chance of showers early this morning (through 15z) in southern IL and far west KY, as a small area of light showers has developed along the edge of the 925-850mb moisture gradient. While model guidance is not picking up on this activity, expecting the showers will gradually diminish as they move to the SSE and the moisture gradient moves further to the SW.
Updated Aviation discussion for the 12z TAF issuance is below.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 126 AM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026
The entire region will finally see a break in the humidity today as drier air filters into the region following the passage of a cold front. High pressure over the Great Lakes and Midwest will bring dry conditions to the region today through Friday. H5 ridging will be positioned over the region as well, and thermal profiles look to be near typical early June values. Therefore, temperatures will be near normal values.
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. Model guidance is not in good agreement whether the front will actually clear the region, but it will be close enough to trigger isolated to scattered storms each day from Saturday through Monday. Additionally, increasing Gulf moisture ahead of the front will bring a return of noticeable humidity levels.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
