- Rain chances return by the middle of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 203 PM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

Ridging is set to build in further across the Four State Region through the end of the week and into the weekend, finally displacing thunderstorms back to our north. This pattern shift will favor a lingering stationary front lifting away as a warm front and mid-level flow becoming briefly quasi-zonal. The tradeoff is for a warming trend over the same time period as this new synoptic setup maximizes warm air advection with temperature maximums in the low-to-mid 90s on Saturday, then mid-to-upper 90s on Monday. The center of the ridging will gradually form and shift over the Ohio River Valley early next week, allowing onshore flow to return and rebuild Gulf moisture. Diurnally-driven convective modes are most likely by later next week when rain chances return, according to long-range guidance.

Long-range guidance also still gives a 60 to 70 percent chance of temperatures greater than 95 degrees by next Tuesday. With dew points expected to remain in the low-to-mid 70s by this time, hazardous heat will be impactful for all groups of people and not just heat-sensitive groups, likely prompting Heat Advisories by that time. Adequate precautions and awareness are encouraged now against the elevated potential for heat illnesses. This includes (and is not limited to) altering outdoor plans, taking frequent breaks if you must be outside, checking the backseat of your vehicle, and knowing the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. /16/
