June nat-gas prices on Wednesday rallied to a 3-3/4 month nearest-futures high on expectations that warm US temperatures will boost nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air-conditioning usage.  NatGasWeather said the northern two-thirds of the US will see above-normal temperatures, and the southern part of the country will see hot temperatures from May 22-29.  

Expectations for smaller-than-average build of weekly nat-gas supplies are also supportive of prices.  The consensus is that Thursday's weekly EIA nat-gas inventories will climb by +76 bcf, below the five-year average for this time of year of +90 bcf.
