KEY MESSAGES
- Rain chances return late tonight into tmrw morning with a quarter inch or less expected.
- After near record warmth Tuesday and Wednesday, a more robust system makes passage with next best rain chances Wednesday night-Thursday offering 1/4 to 1/2" potential rainfall.
- Friday is the warmest day of the week and offers the chance for a 90 degree high temperature reading, which would be the earliest 90 degree high on record for PAH, should it occur.
- More chances for showers and thunderstorms are forecast next weekend.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2026
This new week's weather pattern will be dominated by high pressure, with a couple notable exceptions. One such is tonight, when a few perturbations in the upper flow migrate overhead, and touch off a chance of showers/storms late tonight-early tmrw. Expectations for QPF are light, a quarter inch of rainfall or less.
Near record highs in the mid-upper 80s Tuesday and Wednesday are followed by another, slightly more robust wave/system passage, with increased shower/storm chances again Wednesday night- Thursday. QPF expectations this round are in the 1/4 to 1/2 inch range on average, locally higher amounts not withstanding. SPC has backed off on severe chances then, keeping them to our west.
Finally, another perhaps more robust round of storms comes next weekend. After its passage, a more complete system passage with low pressure/sweeping front, we'll have a cool down back toward more seasonal temps.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2026
The gustiest of winds will subside off their peaks with the setting sun, but maybe not altogether lose gusts. Increasing high clouds will keep lowering and thickening, with restricted bases potentially yielding CIGS by tmrw morning. That'll accompany a low chance of -SHRA/TSRA as some upper level energy moves overtop the flight terminals. Gusts pick up again tmrw, similar to today.
