KEY MESSAGES
- Chance of rain Monday afternoon and night
- Cold front to bring showers and a few storms Wednesday
- Cooler and unsettled late week into the weekend
DISCUSSION
Issued at 242 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024
- Chance of rain Monday afternoon and night
Cu/stratocu will decrease as heating wanes late in the day, leading to partly cloudy sky overnight.
Our next chance of rain is Monday afternoon. A weak short wave is going to move east from the northern Plains in weak zonal flow. A 30 kt low level jet ahead of it will push moisture into the northwest cwa late in the day and evening. Instability will also increase throughout the day as mid level lapse rates climb. As the short wave approaches, we'll likely see some showers/storms develop; highest PoPs will be across the northwest cwa closer to the better moisture and dynamics. HRRR localized probability matched mean (LPMM) suggests a quarter inch to over an inch of rain possible across the northwest cwa with considerably less elsewhere. Precipitation will diminish late Monday night.
Highs Monday will be well above normal in the lower to mid 80s.
- Cold front to bring showers and a few storms Wednesday
Warm and humid conditions are expected Tuesday through early Wednesday out ahead of the cold front in the southerly flow waa pattern. H8 temps should reach 17-18 C Tue afternoon. Guidance has trended warmer and we now expect high temps to reach well into the 80s Tuesday with mild temps in the 60s Tuesday night in the humid airmass.
A cold front will bring showers and a few thunderstorms Wednesday.
At first glance some parameters would appear favorable for severe wx potential. However cold frontal timing is not favorable as it will be coming through Wednesday morning with lots of clouds and showers in place. Therefore we will have very limited instability for any convection to occur and guidance favors areas well east of our area for the better chance for convection and certainly any svr wx potential.
- Cooler and unsettled late week into the weekend
An upper trough axis settles in late in the week resulting in much cooler and somewhat unsettled wx and below normal temps by then.
Some scattered showers are expected as several upper level disturbances pass through coincident with some instability from daytime heating and cool air aloft.
Initially the relatively better chance for mainly diurnally drive pcpn will be north to ne of our area in closer proximity to the upper low center and where mid to upper level dynamics will be stronger. However by the weekend stronger mid to upper level disturbances will move in from the wnw keeping our wx cool and unsettled with below normal temps and some scattered showers.

Issued at 1230 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Conditions ranging from IFR to VFR will slowly improve to VFR at all the terminals this afternoon as cigs gradually improve. VFR conditions are then expected through the evening. Patchy fog will develop early Monday morning and bring potential for MVFR/IFR conditions at times. Any fog will dissipate by mid to late morning with VFR conditions expected at all the terminals from late Monday morning into the afternoon.
MARINE
Issued at 242 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024
High pressure overhead is producing light winds at the lake and this will continue for the next few days. The pressure gradient and corresponding surface winds may tighten a bit Wednesday when a cold front approaches.
Thunderstorms are possible Monday which would pose a threat to boaters.
