.DISCUSSION...

Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026



The welcomed quiet and comfortable weather we have seen comes to

an end over the weekend. Continued southerly flow will bring a

warming trend across the area through the rest of the forecast 

period. Unsettled weather arrives late this weekend and into 

next week as an upper level disturbance lifts out of the 

southern plains. Can't rule out a few isolated showers or storms

on Saturday but believe much of the area will remain dry. 

Higher chances for showers and storms (50-80%) arrive Sunday 

into Tuesday associated with the passage of an upper trough and 

diffuse frontal boundary interacting with a moist airmass. PoPs 

then trend down and further east into Wednesday with mostly dry 

conditions expected the rest of the week as ridging develops 

aloft. Increasingly humid conditions arrive during this time as

well given the increased moisture in place. High temperatures 

in the upper 80s to lower 90s will work with dewpoints in the 

low to mid 70s to produce heat indices into the upper 90s to low

100s.
