KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1218 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2026

- Brief break in showers on Friday before widespread rain chances return this weekend.

- Showers expected to stay nonsevere, but some thunder and localized flooding will be possible.

- Temperatures will climb back into the mid to upper 80s by this weekend and into the lower 90s next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1218 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2026

An area of low pressure in northern Mexico combined with high pressure to the east will keep the Ark-La-Tx in southwesterly flow for the next several days. The shortwave trough that brings wider rain chances today will move on overnight tonight, leaving most of the region dry for Friday. There may be some diurnal convection during the afternoon but should stay limited to our far western and southern zones. Afternoon highs will be back in the mid to upper 80s.

Rain chances become more widespread this weekend once the low pressure system in Mexico moves through OK and MO towards the Great Lakes. The thought is that this low will provide enough forcing to take advantage of the instability and moisture present to organize convection. The forcing doesn't look impressive enough to bring a risk of severe weather, but some thunderstorms and localized flooding can't be ruled out. Temperatures will hold steady in the mid to upper 80s with sustained southerly flow until they breach 90 on Monday.

A upper-level ridge is expected to build in from the southwest after the low pressure departs on Monday. Temperatures will keep climbing with subsidence and southerly flow, reaching the low to mid 90s for much of the week. Other than some pop-up showers and thunderstorms during the afternoons, things should stay dry for much of the long-term period.
