205 AM EDT Tue Aug 4 2026 SYNOPSIS... Unsettled weather pattern returns Wednesday continuing into the weekend. A large scale troughing pattern will move into central Canada centered over the western Hudson Bay by midweek with multiple shortwaves passing in the flow across the northern CONUS. This will result in an unsettled weather pattern developing Wednesday with multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms continuing into the weekend. As the early week high pressure center moves off the Atlantic coast Wednesday, southerly flow will begin to return moisture to the area ahead of a cold front that may stall across the Great Lakes region late in the week. At this time, flow appears to be on the weaker side limiting more robust organized convection, but PWAT values return towards 1.5-1.7" that could be supportive of more chances for heavy rainfall.
