.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1257 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Northwest to north winds will give our region cooler temperatures
and decreasing humidity today, with these conditions persisting
through Monday night. Winds will shift back to the south
Tuesday, resulting in a warming trend and increasing humidity
through Wednesday, with these more seasonable conditions
continuing into Thursday. Wednesday will become very breezy as
the pressure gradient tightens ahead of an approaching cold
front. South winds at 15-25mph with gusts to around 35mph are
expected Wednesday afternoon and evening.

A few showers and storms are possible Tuesday with a weakening
surface boundary moving into our region and washing out. Much
better chances will spread south across the PAH forecast area
(fa) with the lifting north of a warm front and the subsequent
approach of the aforementioned cold front Wednesday. 20-30%
chances will move into northern portions of the PAH fa Wednesday
afternoon, spreading south Wednesday evening and increasing to
40% south to 85% north by late Wednesday night. Chances will
peak at 70-90% Thursday through Thursday evening as the cold
front pushes through the area. Chances will end from northwest
to southeast late Thursday night through Friday morning.
Precipitation forecast totals Tuesday through Friday are
currently in the 1.5 to 2.5 inch range, with localized higher
amounts possible. SPC includes northern portions of the PAH fa
in a Day 4 Severe 15% probability. Based on current timing of
the cold front, this would be primarily Wednesday night.

Chances of showers and storms return to the forecast late in the
weekend. The model blend produces 20-40% chance in the Saturday
night to Sunday time frame. Models solutions vary quite a bit
over the weekend, and confidence is not very high at this time,
so future adjustments are likely.
