(This evening through Wednesday Night) Issued at 149 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 Unfortunately, another active short-term is on the horizon, as another thunderstorm complex looks to move into the region overnight, and linger through tomorrow afternoon. This MCS will very much resemble what we`ve been experiencing the last two days, with it moving into the area from the NW, exiting to the SE. A slight risk for severe weather remains in place across the region, as this MCS will be capable of producing damaging winds. Elsewhere, a moderate risk for excessive rainfall remains in effect for the overnight hours, as additional heavy rainfall is anticipated into tomorrow afternoon. Given the saturated soils, the flood watch remains in effect through tomorrow afternoon, as it won`t take much for additional flash flooding to occur. 1-3 inches of additional rainfall are possible, with locally heavier amounts certainly possible given these heavier rainfall rates. /44/

(Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 149 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 With all that bad news out of the way, there is a glimmer of hope of dry weather in the long-term. Upper-level ridging will nudge north into the day on Thursday, shifting the NW flow back to the north as well. This will result in limited rain chances into the day on Saturday, before this ridge begins to slightly retreat into Sunday. So while rain chances during this timeframe will be limited, high temperatures will begin to skyrocket, with highs in the mid-90s anticipated by Thursday. Come Monday, a trough and cold front will begin to work through the Midwest, with the front extending all the way back into W. Texas. This front will begin to increase rain chances once again across the region, with thunderstorm chances returning as well. /44/
