...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Friday through Saturday)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024

Quiet weather remains in the forecast to start our weekend, as
upper-level ridging slightly bulks up to our east. Given the
placement of the high pressure, there is at least some chance that
some showers get pushed into our SE zones, so I have introduced
some low-end PoPs to account for this chance. Other than that, the
warming trend really gets under way today, extending well into the
long-term.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024

As the ridge builds and shifts west into the weekend, our already
hot temperatures will continue to climb. Many locations could be
approaching triple-digits by Sunday, with many more actually
reaching triple-digits by Monday. In turn, it sure looks like heat
products will be needed to start the new workweek, as ApparentT`s
look to climb over 105 degrees. However, the ridge looks to erode
towards the middle of the workweek, as a trough and cold front
begin to move into the Midwest. There is still a lot of
discrepancy with this system, but if we`re lucky the low pressure
will drop south enough for us to see some decent rain through
Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, it doesn`t look like this
system will do much for our afternoon highs, as mid to upper-90s
are still anticipated through the rest of the week.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 551 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024

For the 21/12z TAFS...VFR conditions will prevail during the
period with scattered mid to high clouds for most of the period,
and some afternoon CU. Can`t rule out an isolated shower or two
during the afternoon and early evening hours, especially at KLFK.
Otherwise, expect light/variable winds this morning to become to
ESE around 5 kts today, before becoming light/variable again after
sunset. /20/
