.Discussion...
Issued at 309 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2023

Key Messages:

- Hit or miss showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.

- Another shot for showers and storms on Wednesday.

- More seasonable temperatures towards the late week.

Discussion:

Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed again this
afternoon in areas with higher moisture, better instability and
steep low level lapse rates. These showers and storms should persist
over the next few hours thanks to daytime heating and weak upper
level wave moving through. Severe weather is not expected due to
lack of shear and strong winds aloft. However, cannot rule out some
gusts near 25 to 35 mph in any cold pool interaction due to the
steep low level lapse rates and DCAPE over 1000 j/kg. Small hail is
more likely within any strong storm and we have already received
some reports within the past hour. Heating is lost after sunset and
instability quickly wanes allowing for a dry night across the
region.

Overall pattern remains the same with strong upper level low parked
over northern New England with another upper level low over southern
California. This keeps the Plains in a ridge over the next several
days. A weak wave will move through the area tomorrow, which could
trigger more showers and isolated thunder. However, the better
instability and moisture will be to the north and west of the
region. Did keep a slight chance of pop but confidence is low for
widespread precipitation chances for the area.

Potent wave will round the upper level low on Wednesday which will
bring a back door cold front into the area. Widespread showers and
thunderstorms are anticipated through the day as the front pushes
southwest. Temperature spreads are likely with high temperatures near
80F across the northeast with 90F across the southwest portion of
the area. Higher confidence in precip and thunder chances due to
better instability and moisture ahead of the front. Severe weather
chances are low due to lack of shear. The front looks to stall out
over the Central Plains which could renew precipitation chances on
Thursday, esp across the western portion of the area.

Towards the weekend, precipitation chances seem to be on the
increase as omega block upper level pattern begins to weaken with a
few waves moving through the flow. While timing is still uncertain,
confidence is increasing in precipitation across the area with
cooler temperatures.

.Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1218 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2023

VFR conditions will prevail through the rest of the afternoon
outside of any TSRA. Light easterly flow will persist through the
TAF period. Some broken upper level clouds will slide south and
west from the Great Lakes due to upper level shortwave rotating
around the stagnate upper level low over New England. Otherwise cu
field will begin to develop this afternoon thanks to some mid-
level moisture and good mixing. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are possible and could impact some of the TAF
locations. Kept VCSH for now until convection begins to develop,
then will adjust accordingly.

Convection will wane after 02-03z as heating is lost and some dry
air makes its way into the mid-levels. Conditions should remain
VFR overnight and into the morning push.
