Day 1 Valid 12Z Thu May 28 2026 - 12Z Fri May 29 2026

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS MUCH OF=20
THE SOUTHEAST TO MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, SOUTHEAST FLORIDA, AND=20
FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST...

...Central Plains to Southeast...

A bit of an omega block pattern is shaping up across the CONUS=20
with a broad upper trough axis fixated over the Central and=20
Southern Plains with ridging in place over the top. This will cause
a rather chaotic flow under the mean trough and several smaller=20
mid- level perturbations basically "stuck" within the overall=20
trough axis. Ample instability with deep moisture presence will=20
certainly continue to support at least a scattered heavy rain=20
footprint across areas underneath influence of the trough.=20
Scattered elevated probabilities between 30-70% exists for=20
localized amounts >3" from KS all the way into the Southeast U.S.=20
with the maxima split between eastern KS to northern AR and the=20
Central Gulf coast. For KS/AR, parked underneath the upper trough,=20
upper forcing and stagnant flow are more favorable for heavier=20
rainfall totals. Maintaining a marginal risk at this time as the=20
heaviest rainfall over the past 12 or so hours was more southwest=20
of where the guidance is showing today and the rest of the region=20
is still somewhat dry and can probably support some heavier totals.
Along the Gulf Coast and into the Southeast, instability will be=20
maximized in this area with weak flow supporting slow- moving=20
convection and heavier rainfall over those isolated areas.=20
Antecedent conditions across much of this region are also very wet,
so it may not take much to cause issue. Given the still fairly=20
isolated nature, maintaining a broad marginal risk, with any=20
possible upgrades today stemming more from near term radar trends.=20

...Florida...

An active sea breeze pattern with weakening steering flow will=20
lead to periods of heavy rainfall across southeast Florida this=20
afternoon. Greatest concern remains over the South Florida metro=20
corridor from West Palm Beach to Miami. Latest HREF is robust with=20
showing greater than 50% probabilities for 3" in 24-hours, with=20
even some modest, albeit localized, probabilities for 5". This=20
correlates well with CAM guidance, with some indicating bullseyes=20
of greater than 3" within the larger QPF footprint. Locally=20
significant rainfall is likely in this relatively classic pattern=20
with ample moisture and instability present. A marginal risk=20
remains in effect across Southeast Florida.=20

...Washington/Oregon...

A deep upper level low over the West will allow for a broad axis=20
of diffluent flow across the interior Northwest. Precipitable water
values 1-1.5" are in the 90-90th percentile, and with sufficient=20
instability, should support convection capable of producing heavy=20
rainfall. Flooding and flash flooding are a concern for mainly the=20
more vulnerable areas - urban, small stream, and low lying areas.=20
HREF 24-hr probabilities for greater than 3" are between 40-70% for
especially the Oregon cascades. Given the favorable environment=20
though, a marginal risk extends all the way from far northern=20
California northward to the eastern half of Washington state. A=20
previous marginal risk for parts of the northern Rockies was=20
trimmed out for this update given the lack of QPF signal.

Day 2 Valid 12Z Fri May 29 2026 - 12Z Sat May 30 2026

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PARTS OF=20
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AS WELL AS MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST TO MIDDLE=20
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

...Eastern Washington to Northern Rockies...

A marginal risk is in place across far northeast Washington to=20
northwest Montana due to an increase in the heavy rainfall signal=20
for this period as the upper low over the West on Day 1, pivots=20
slightly northeastward, placing this region in an area with better=20
upper forcing and advection of moisture. The presence of anomalous=20
moisture and some instability may present a threat for localized=20
heavy rainfall and flash flooding, especially for burn scar=20
locations within this region.=20

...Middle Mississippi Valley to the Southeast...

Strong Canadian high pressure pressing in from the north will=20
allow for a slow moving cold front to press south over the course=20
of Thursday into Friday with convection likely to spawn along and=20
ahead of the front and dry air advecting behind the front leading=20
to a quick cutoff of activity. The front will arc back into the=20
Tennessee Valley to Middle Mississippi Valley, supported by the=20
persistent troughing over the south-central Plains. A moist and=20
unstable environment near and south of this front will support=20
scattered convection, with some heavier cells likely within the=20
pattern. It is still too hard to pick out any discernible areas of=20
interest, so maintained a very broad marginal risk over this area=20
which is quite wet and will continue to be in the Day 1 period.

Day 3 Valid 12Z Sat May 30 2026 - 12Z Sun May 31 2026

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS THE=20
NORTHERN ROCKIES TO HIGH PLAINS AND THE SOUTHEAST...

...Northern Rockies to High Plains...

The upper level low over the West during the Day 1 and 2 periods=20
will weaken and shift northeastward, moving over the Northern=20
Rockies to High Plains region on Day 3/Saturday. Moisture anomalies
will continue to be in the 90-90th percentile, supporting moderate
to heavy rainfall, with widespread QPF greater than 0.5-1" likely=20
across western and central Montana. There may not be a lot of=20
instability to work with, so any flood or flash flood threats=20
should be mainly localized with particular attention to burn scar=20
locations. A fairly broad marginal risk is in place across much of=20
western and central Montana, into parts of northern Wyoming as=20
well.

...Southeast...

Same story as Days 1 and 2, with ample moisture and instability=20
present near and south of a cold front that may stall over the=20
region on Saturday supporting convection, across much of the=20
Southeast. Some of this region, especially western parts of South=20
Carolina and into the Appalachians has been very wet as of late and
is well primed, so may be more favorable for flooding concerns.=20
The marginal risk though continues towards the coast due to the=20
presence of a weak frontal wave in the region. The Marginal Risk=20
extends from the Southeast coast, westward into northeast Alabama=20
and southeast Tennessee.=20
