.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1008 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

Local radars are showing convection getting an early start across
our southern zones. This convection will continue to increase from
the south through the day. Although no strong to severe storms are
expected this morning, local microburst checklist showed a slight
chance by mid afternoon. Early morning satellite imagery/RAP
analysis showed a shortwave trough axis just to our west that is
progged to shift east and help enhance the convection. With the
early start and numerous coverage of convection, some locations
may struggle to reach forecast maximum afternoon temperatures
today. Have made minor adjustments to temperatures will lowest
highs expected over the southwest. /22/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 328 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

The moist airmass remains entrenched over the area with a broad
upper level trough draped over the area. Today will be a repeat of
yesterday, with early morning convection north of I-20 giving way to
more widespread showers/thunderstorms filling in by afternoon.
Locally high rain rates can`t be rule out today neither can a few
storms going severe later on in the day. Highs will be nice and
subdued thanks to persistent cloud coverage/showers with only a few
eastern sites break 90F today, while everywhere else peaks in the
high 80s.

For the rest of the period expect real gradual warming day to day,
with temperatures climbing into the mid 90s by the beginning of next
week. Along with a general warming trend we should continue to see a
decrease in the overall coverage and intensity of thunderstorms and
showers. That being said it doesn`t look like any site fully escapes
measurable precipitation totals over the coming week, so have those
raincoats and umbrellas ready./OAJ/
