.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Sun Jun 9 2024

Tonight and Monday: Delightful late spring weather as high
pressure will be settling across the area. The very dry airmass
and rather light winds will allow for a comfortable night with
clear skies. Lows should bottom out in the lower to mid 50s,
similar to early this morning.

On Monday, sunny skies and continued dry airmass will allow for
afternoon temperatures to nicely rebound into the lower to mid
70s. These readings are actually about 5 degrees Below normal
for early June. North winds will be in the 10 to 15 mph range.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Sun Jun 9 2024

Tuesday through Thursday: Strong active zonal flow develops
across the northern United States, pulling warmer air into the
forecast area. Temperatures will be turning hot and also it will
become more humid as the week progresses. Readings will be
pushing to around 90 at most locations later in the week, with
dewpoints into the 60s.

Severe threat Thursday: Global models indicate a cold front
arriving during the afternoon and evening. With hot, moist, and
very unstable airmass in place, organized thunderstorms should
erupt ahead of the front. SPC has a SLGT Risk (Level 2 of 5) for
severe storms across the entire forecast area. Mid level winds
increase to 50+ KT so deep layer shear will be at least moderate
if not strong. This suggests damaging winds will be the main
threat. The tornado risk is yet to be determined.

Friday through Saturday: Brief northwest flow should bring
somewhat cooler and less humid air into the area, along with dry
weather. Highs will be in the 80s.

Sunday: Another upper level trough swings out of the Rockies and
into the Upper Midwest. This will be the next chance of
thunderstorms. However, way too early to determine the severe
threat from these storms. Hot and humid conditions return with
some locations pushing into the lower 90s.
