DISCUSSION

Issued at 1256 PM CDT Wed May 27 2026

We continue to see some showers and thunderstorms across portions of the area this afternoon, mainly for areas along and north of the I-20 corridor. And as of the latest SPC update, a Marginal Risk for strong to severe thunderstorms has been introduced for the northern half of the region. Main threats, although they remain low, will be for strong winds and an isolated tornado possible. Aside from this, we also remain in a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall from WPC. Not thinking we will see any widespread flooding, but the potential is at least there for such.

Rain chances will remain in place for at least portions of the area through the weekend and even into next week. While we are not expecting widespread rain for everyone, we will see enough isolated convection each day to impact someone each day. Specific locations will likely be hashed out on a day-by-day basis as isolated convection is hard to pick exact locations. While rain chances will remain in place through the weekend and into next week, the threat for severe weather and widespread flash flooding will be on the lower side at this time.

As for temperatures, today will be the "coolest" day in the near future. Afternoon highs will gradually increase a few degrees each day before reaching a peak on Saturday, with highs on Saturday ranging from the upper 80s to lower 90s. Things will level out from here for Sunday and Monday, and then long range models show a slight decrease in temperatures towards the middle of next week. All things considered, near normal temperatures for the end of May is nothing to be upset about. /33/
