.AVIATION...
Upper level disturbance continues to move across the region. This
impulse combined with daytime heating is producing scattered
convection that will impact primarily the northern terminals
through 06Z. Only widely scattered precipitation is expected
through the remainder of the period but low clouds will likely
impact the majority of the terminals around daybreak. VFR to MVFR
conditions this evening will becoming IFR and then rebound to VFR
by late Wednesday morning.

.PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 249 PM CDT Tue May 25 2021)
Short Term and Extended...
Southwesterly flow aloft continues across the area, with embedded
shortwaves producing areas of precipitation, with brief periods of
dry weather between systems. At the surface, a cold front will be
pushing into the area late Thursday afternoon into Friday, which
will result in significantly higher rain chances. There may be some
chances for severe weather across the area Thursday night as the
front pushes into an area of instability.

There have been a number of inquiries about the upcoming 3-day
holiday weekend. High temperatures on Saturday and Sunday look to be
quite pleasant in the wake of the cold front, with highs in the 70's
in most areas. A bit of a ridge will start to build by Monday, and
temperatures will warm up well into the 80's.

As far as rain chances are concerned, there may be a few showers and
thunderstorms across the southern and western half of the state on
Saturday, but Sunday and Monday should be dry.

The pattern aloft will become southwesterly again by early in the
week, and rain chances will return by Tuesday.
