KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 222 PM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

- Impacts from the remnants of Tropical Depression Edouard will continue with ongoing rain bands shifting northwestward into Texas through Thursday morning.

- Clouds and rain will shift westward by the end of the week, reintroducing more above normal summer heat by early next week.

- Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms will return (mainly south of I-20) later this weekend into most of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 222 PM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

As of 12 PM CDT, Tropical Depression Edouard is centered about 30 miles west of Lufkin with attendant rain bands extending from Deep East Texas into central and southern/coastal Louisiana. We will continue to see impacts from the remnant circulation of Edouard through the overnight hours into Thursday morning as it approaches the I-20 corridor. As it does so, the spatiotemporal extent of the cyclonic wind and cloud field will shrink, modifying less of the weather conditions by tomorrow and Friday. Aloft, ridging over the mid-South will gradually weaken and re-form across the southern Great Plains, ushering in a gradual return to above normal temperatures (maximums in the upper 90s/minimums in the low-to-mid 70s). With dew points remaining in the low 70s through the weekend, the potential for heat hazard product issuance also remains elevated (especially along and north of the I-30 corridor into south Arkansas.

Long-range guidance suggests somewhat westerly zonal flow aloft along the base of ridging that sets up a somewhat uneventful synoptic pattern. That said, the convection that does develop will most likely be in the form of a diurnal pattern with the best chance of rain south of the I-20 corridor. WPC QPF values suggest an additional 0.10-0.25 inches of rain south of I-20 outside of precipitation from T.D. Edouard. /16/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1234 PM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

Several sites are MVFR with remnants of Edouard moving through Eastern Texas this afternoon. The forward motion of the system has slowed substantially, which may change the forecast for some over the next 24 hours. Most sites are expected to remain VFR with some expanding cloud cover and winds generally hovering around 5-10 kts. KLFK will largely stay MVFR with gusty winds and VCSH through the period, especially if Edouard stops moving entirely. KTYR/KGGG are currently expected to stay VFR with some scattered lower clouds through the afternoon. MVFR cigs around daybreak are also likely with the return of Gulf moisture, lifting slightly through the day. Confidence on rain bands making it to KTYR/KGGG depends on if there is any further movement northwestward, which is what I've assumed for this package.

Any showers that do impact further sites shouldn't come with much, if any, thunder. But briefly gusty winds and lower visibilities will be possible. /57/
