LONG TERM
Issued 130 PM CDT Sat May 9 2026

Monday night through Saturday:

Models continue to support a fairly strong shortwave trough and associated wave of low pressure tracking from Canada to central WI on Tue. A well organized swly low level jet of 45-50 kt and warm, moist advection pattern will bring sufficient moisture and lift for widespread rain and perhaps scattered elevated convection.
There will be just low chances for sfc based convection with the cold frontal passage late Tue afternoon and evening.

High pressure will then follow for Wed nt-Thu AM followed by a jet stream pattern change to quasi-zonal for late next week.
This will bring a return of warm and humid conditions and increasing rain chances.
