Long Term
(Friday through Monday night) Issued at 222pm CDT Tuesday May 30 2023

The longer term will be characterized by persistent troughing present over the western Atlantic, and a general weakness across the local area. Details such as how far southwest the trough axis extends and how much moisture will remain or move into the local area continue to be a bit uncertain. Unfortunately these finer details will determine the actual sensible weather impacts across the local area.

Currently it looks like the best rain chances will be late in the weekend and early next week as weak upper ridging breaks down and heigheights fall across the Gulf South allowing more diurnally forced storms to Probability of Precipitation up. However, even on the days with the best convective coverage, am still only carrying POPs generally in the 30-40% range. The latest Quantitative Precipitation Forecast guidance from WPC is similarly pessimistic on any widespread wetting rain with less than one quarter inch of rain for the majority of places over the course of the whole period.
