DISCUSSION

Issued at 207 AM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Recent mosaic radar imgry depicted lingering convective activity acrs SErn AR, where MUCAPE values near 1500 J/kg were still present. Given that this activity remains elevated, heavy rainfall and some small hail wl remain the main threats w/ lingering convection overnight.

Tues, broad sfc high pressure over the Midwest wl extend SWwrd into the Srn Cntrl US, w/ a cold front set to move through the Mid-South and greater extent of the Natural State. Breezy NErly sfc winds will be seen area-wide today as the front moves thru. Additional chances for rain will be possible acrs the SWrn half of the FA later this aftn as remnants fm overnight convection in Nrn OK move into the ARKLATEX region, though no severe weather threat is anticipated.

By Wed, much drier air is expected acrs the FA, w/ some much needed relief fm antecedent hot and muggy condns prevailing thru the mid- week. Aftn temps wl top out in the low 80s at most locations, w/ settled, cooler, and drier weather persisting thru Fri.

By late week and into the weekend, sfc high pressure wl shift Ewrd, w/ weak SWrly H500 flow returning to the Cntrl US. As sfc flow becomes Srly again, low level moisture and area precip chances wl increase over the FA thru the end of the PD.
