.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 213 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

There will be a few opportunities for sprinkles or light rain
showers this week, but widespread or "meaningful" rain is not
expected. The 12Z global ensembles show a 60-90% chance for less
than 0.10" of total rainfall through Friday.

The first opportunity for sprinkles will be tonight into Monday
morning, followed by another opportunity for spotty showers and
weak t-storms Monday night.

Temperatures will trend warmer through midweek (90s to low 100s
on Wed). That said, humidity remains quite low through
Wednesday, so heat index values should remain below 100 degrees
for the entire area. A shortwave will move through the region
on Wednesday, but the bulk of the rain/t-storms should remain
to our east. This shortwave will bump temperatures down a bit
for Thursday, but near to above- normal temperatures return for
the weekend.

Ensembles continue to advertise reasonably high chances for
rain/t-storms returning next weekend (June 20-21st) as a
shortwave moves through the central/northern Plains. Of course,
details remain pretty uncertain at this time range, this could
feature at least some severe weather. The 00Z CSU-MLP severe
probs have a 5% contour across much of the region on Saturday.
