KEY MESSAGES

- Additional rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible from the early to middle portions of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 232 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

Tomorrow into next week, the pattern looks to remain active. Remnant outflow boundaries stretched out in the region will remain the focus for renewed development of convection, but the key will be triggering of new upstream convection in the Southern Plains and possible MCS development spreading into our area as a result. The next focus for watching will be a potential MCS later tomorrow night, which currently warrants a Marginal Risk for severe storms extending into northeast LA and southeast AR before sunrise Sunday and expanding to the rest of the area into the day Sunday. Thunderstorm chances remain in place through Friday across our region, which as mentioned, has the potential to be strong to severe if timed out favorably with heating and the passage of upper-level disturbances over the region. Residents should remain alert to changes in forecasted impacts over the next several days. /NF/OAJ/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 111 PM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

Aside from occasional MVFR category ceilings this afternoon, VFR conditions will prevail through this evening and into the overnight. Thereafter, another round of late night and morning IFR/LIFR category stratus/BR/FG can be expected. This should be most prevalent in about the 09z-16z time frame with the potential for lowest vsbys mainly over the PIB/HBG area. While TS wasn't included explicitly in the TAFs, there will be an increasing threat for storms from west to east as we approach daybreak and go through the morning, especially for western/southern portions of the area. /EC/
