.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1200 AM CDT WED JUN 3 2026

Surface and mid-level ridging/high pressure will build across the
area today, with a similar configuration lasting through Friday.
This will promote fair-weather conditions and less-humid air.

Over the weekend, moist onshore flow returns as the surface ridge
positions. The mid-level ridge is shown to become dampened by
shortwave troughs on its perimeter. This will allow for shower
and thunderstorm chances to rebound with a similar pattern
continuing into next week.
