225 PM CDT Tue May 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Shower and thunderstorms chances continue through Wednesday night,
peaking during the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. Severe
thunderstorms are possible. Afterwards, dry weather returns
Thursday and Friday, and lingers through much of the coming
weekend. Southerly winds will be gusty at times through Wednesday,
and then switch around to the west-northwest on Thursday. They
remain out of the northwest through Saturday before flipping back
to southwesterly on Sunday, which will usher in a warming trend
back into the 80s next week. Great smoke dispersion is expected
Thursday and Friday with deeper mixing. Much lower humidity
returns Thursday through the weekend, leading to good drying
conditions.
