.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1156 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

A weak ridge is still in place over much of the Central CONUS at
the time of writing that will work to suppress most convection.
Even with this suppression, a backdooring cold front could act as
a lifting mechanism for some scattered showers and storms Tuesday
afternoon and into the overnight hours. Exact locations are
unknown due to model disagreements and possible lingering outflow
boundary interactions. However, the greatest chance will be
generally along and south of I-20. QPF is generally less than half
an inch with these showers. But slow moving or training showers
could lead to isolated flooding concerns in places. Any rain that
gets going should exit our southern zones just before midnight
Tuesday night.

Slightly cooler air will follow the cold front's exit on
Wednesday, with afternoon highs climbing into the mid to upper
80s. Temperatures should stay in this range through the rest of
the week despite the strengthening upper-level ridge. This is
partially due to a region of sfc high pressure in the Mid
Atlantic, bringing easterly sfc winds instead of the typical
southerlies. This sfc high is expected to push into the Atlantic
late this week and shift winds southerly again, which will
kickstart moisture advection and warming temperatures going into
next week.

At the same time as this wind shift, the upper-level ridge that
has been at the center of our forecast over recent days will give
way to southwest flow. Several perturbations are likely to move
downstream and bring multiple rounds of showers to the Ark-La-Tx
Friday through Sunday. Confidence is fairly high that there will
be showers, but exact locations are unknown thanks to long-range
model uncertainty. Rain chances remain broad right now for this
reason. Assuming that models can figure out this pattern, we
should be able to narrow down more specifics in the coming days.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1242 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

For the 02/18Z TAF update, TSRA/VCTS continues to rapidly develop
across the airspace with some gradual southward propagation
expected through 03/03Z before dissipation. This TSRA convection will
produce some localized MVFR vis/cigs through the same time period.
By 03/12Z, some patchy MVFR/IFR vis/cigs will be likely through
03/15Z. /16/

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Issued at 206 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

tonight, spotter activation is not likely at this time.
