KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1131 AM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026

- Slightly cooler will continue moving into our region from the northeast allowing for more pleasant conditions through the end of the work week. - A longwave trough in the Tue/Wed timeframe next week will produce much needed rain chances along with cooler temperatures.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1134 AM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026

A weak frontal boundary across the region to continue migrating south allowing for a slightly cooler and drier airmass to build in its wake. Isolated showers across portions of southeast Oklahoma and south-central Arkansas this morning to diminish through the afternoon with dry conditions to prevail through the remainder of the work week as an upper-level ridge becomes firmly established areawide.

A drier airmass across the region will mean dewpoint values could fall into the upper 50s tonight across portions of south Arkansas and adjacent counties and parishes across Oklahoma and Louisiana, resulting in overnight low temperatures in the lower 60s across many of these areas.

However, drier dewpoints could lead to an increased the wildfire threat across parts of the region on Thursday, especially across portions of east Texas where wind gusts of 10 to 15 mph could be possible.

Thursday night will be the coldest night of the week with overnight lows ranging from the upper 50s across the I-30 corridor to the mid 60s across Deep East Texas and north Louisiana.

The weather pattern to become more active beginning early next week into midweek as the upper-level ridge shifts east and a closed low dives south into Texas, resulting in increased rain chances along with slightly cooler temperatures. /05/
