.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 240 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024

Windy conditions will develop late this morning and continue to near
sunset. Dry conditions with deep mixing will create wind gusts up to
40 mph. Humidity levels will be much lower with temperatures in the
70s. A passing upper level disturbance will bring an increase in
clouds to the area during the afternoon.

Tonight quiet conditions with diminishing winds will be seen as high
pressure builds into the Midwest.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 240 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024

Friday
Assessment...high confidence

Dry conditions with temperatures at or slightly below normal will be
seen. Deep mixing of the atmosphere will result in windy conditions
developing during the late morning and afternoon.

Friday night through Wednesday
Assessment...high confidence on slight below normal temperatures
through Tuesday. Low to medium confidence regarding rain chances.

Northwest flow will persist across the Midwest through Tuesday
helping to keep temperatures slightly below normal. Breezy
conditions are expected over the weekend.

Weak upper level disturbances will be moving through the flow aloft
on a daily basis. The overall timing of the disturbances point to
the late morning and afternoon hours. As always moisture will be the
determining factor on whether or not any disturbance produces any
rain.

Thus there is the potential for some diurnal showers and maybe a
thunderstorm Saturday through Wednesday. Coverage will be low at 10
to 20 percent. Thus while there is a low risk of rain each day, the
key message is that a vast majority of the area will remain dry.
