.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 147 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024

Just a touch warmer currently than 24 hours ago. Temperatures across
the mid state are holding in the 70s at this time. Skies are mostly
clear.

The upper level area of higher pressure over the Carolinas will
strengthen today. This will act to push the more active convection
further westward. Thus, pops will still be in play but it will be
notably less active. Following this, we will hang on to a southerly
uniform flow. Some added mid and upper level cloudiness could end up
prevailing on Tuesday and Wednesday. It should be virtually pop free
however as the ridging begins to exhibit some westward extension.

For the near term temps, it will still be a good distance above
normal. However, those aforementioned clouds could prevent the
mercury from reaching the mid to upper 90s range. Latest nbs numbers
suggest lower to mid 90s for highs. Again, those clouds may keep our
temps down a degree or two. Dewpoints should be in the mid to upper
60s so not too terrible. Overnight lows still look warm with 70-75F
expected.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 147 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024

In the extended forecast, the strong ridge will move from the mid
Atlantic states westward through the mid/deep south from Thursday to
Saturday. Following this, the ridge is expected to further suppress
and weaken with a weak westerly regime returning by early next week.
Perhaps a weak dissipating boundary may attempt to approach on
Monday. Pops will reemerge, though very low.

For the extended temps, its looking very hot for the Thursday
through Saturday period with upper 90s expected. Temps may back down
a degree or two following this as the ridge retreats just a touch.
Overnight lows will remain persistant with lower to mid 70s for most
areas.

(12Z TAFS)

Overall we are going to see VFR conditions through the TAF period.
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible after 18z mainly to the
west of I-65. IFR/LIFR will be possible in any thunderstorms due
to heavy rain and low vis. The thunderstorm threat will diminish
by 01z. Southerly winds up to 10 knots this afternoon.
