Discussion
High pressure ridging over the southeastern states will tend to breakdown over the next 48 hours or so and this will lead to unsettled conditions and an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms. In addition, it’ll turn warmer with highs over the next few days not far from the 90 degree mark. Later next week, the upper-level pattern will feature strong upper-level ridging over the western US and a vigorous upper-level trough over the Northeast US. Looking ahead, there are signs of some tropical activity over the Gulf of Mexico by the third week of June which would potentially be the first of the 2021 Atlantic Basin tropical season.
