DISCUSSION

Issued at 116 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026

Increase moisture and humid conditions will linger through Saturday with a frontal boundary and low pressure system nearby. There will be a brief break in the precipitation today before showers and storms focus along/near the frontal boundary on Friday. The chances for showers and storms increase to around 30-60% tonight into Friday before dropping to around 30-40% Saturday into Sunday. The greatest chances will be over SEMO into west KY, which continues to be a trend in the guidance (precipitation drifting farther southwest). In fact, those locations have about a 30-50% chance of seeing greater than one-half inch of rain for Friday through Saturday, while the rest of the area only has about a 10-30% chance. The frontal boundary remaining mainly south of the area, coupled with very little wind shear, will keep the severe weather threat to a minimum. Heavy downpours and lightning will be the main concerns with any of the storms.

The chances for showers diminish Monday through Wednesday with less humid conditions in place. Temperatures will generally be in the 70s to low 80s through the whole forecast period.
