DISCUSSION
Issued at 1209 AM CDT Sat Aug 29 2026
Drier air continues to filter into the state early this Sat morning in wake of the front over the past 24-36 hrs. This front will bring temps back closer to normal for today...though may still be a few deg above normal for highs. Upper flow this morning will be NRLY as the upper ridge remains west of AR. However...this ridge will begin expanding back over the region starting Sun.
As the upper ridge expands back over the region on Sun...temps will start warming again. This ridge looks to settle across the region early next week...with temps continuing to rise. Humidity levels will also increase over time...and heat index values will gradually warm to near or over Heat Adv levels this coming week. As a result...additional heat headlines may be needed.
Chances for rainfall will also remain low with the upper ridge settling over the region. However...there could be some weakness in the upper ridge by mid week as the center may shift east...which could result in some isolated convection.
